(CNN)The next edition of the Miss America pageant will scrap swimsuits and will be more inclusive to women of all sizes, the contest announced Tuesday.

"We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That's huge," she said.

I have the same comment as I had on the NFL thread:

It's your competition.  If you want to produce a product I won't buy you have that right.  There is no right or wrong.  The world has potential buyers other than me.

Maybe they realize their product isn't selling?

No doubt.  And their new product will sell worse.

 

P.S.  Or maybe they've decided to sell to women instead of men.  I'm serious.

Replace swimsuit with creative body paint please.  Add driving course, SAT, and chef components.

And shooting range.

It's definitely this.  They'll try to turn it into a fashion show of sorts.

It started as a swimsuit competition in 1921.

Just look at the outrage on Gretchen's face in 1988.

 But you know, when I look at these contestants! I feel good! I feel good, because I know there's a God somewhere! There's a God somewhere! Turn around ladies for me please! You know there's a God who sits on high and looks down low!

Man cannot make it like this! Larry Flynt! Hugh Hefner! They can take the picture, but you can't make it! Only God above, the Hugh Hefner on high, can make it for ya!

It's astonishing the stuff that American conservatives give a shit about. Just pathetic.

You "bought" the old pageant? Personally, I never watched it before and probably wont now. However, I will let you in on a little secret. Thick girls have been in favor for quite a while. If most people like that pre-pregnant Kim Kardashian body over an anorexic waif than why shouldn't that KK body style be eligible for Miss America?

For real, who even prefers that starvation look?  For sure, your wife doesn't look like that. Nor do the younger girls around you who you find attractive.

I like cute skinny girls. My last girlfriend weighed 77 pounds at 4'9". She did not look starved just tiny. Lots of guys who come to the Philippines like slimmer women and are not fans of typical American/Australian/European fat chicks.

She was and still is 22 years old, in case you were curious.

I dated a chick that exact size when I was in middle school.

Gay dudes who are art directors for fashion magazines prefer that waif look. As for me, and most dudes who don't fuck dudes, I like some feminine fat in all the right places.

Army Brat's daughter?

By discontinuing the swimsuit at the same time as "being more inclusive", they are basically saying that bigger is just as beautiful... unless it is in a swimsuit.  Lol.

Here she is, Miss America... no, really, she's the size of America...

Men have the internet to see hot chicks now.  Of course they’re selling to women.  What dude in 2018 is going to sit through hours of Miss America to see a girl in a swimsuit?  

I’m sure most of their audience has been women for a long time.  The potential issue I would see is whether women who watch pageants are actually wishing for change as much as the marketers think.  There are plenty of girls who like the old impossibly perfect bleach blonde Barbie and wish that never changed.  

Maybe you bring in a new market for Miss Inner Beauty America, but I think the women who would appreciate that approach more would still ultimately end up saying, “Wait, but why do we judge women like this at all?  Pageants are still gross and objectifying relics of the patriarchy.  Also, her bangs are terrible.”

I have zero clue as to the demographics of the show, but I absolutely agree with you. There are few things in this world that women enjoy more than the tearing apart of another woman’s appearance.

Thanks for your insight. Thumbs up. 🙄

Any time, babe. 

It will be a good day when Chrispy realizes what a piece of shit he is and jumps in front of a semi truck. 

The next shoe to drop will be when the pageant organizers make their announcement that they have signed a long term contract giving the exclusive broadcasting rights to the pageant to ESPN radio.

pageants are disgusting. that's all i really have to say. we wonder why little boys grow up objectifying women, when they parade around in swimsuits in trim bodies to gain an award for looking good. don't get me wrong, i'm a sinner, and i love a good looking woman. but we've got to get beyond this shit if we actually want our little girls in STEM type careers. i get alarmed enough when i see my peers' ten year olds on facebook in their dance troupes, all painted up like 2 dollar hookers. gives me the shivers.

Why don't they just turn it into a Spelling Bee and be done with it...

Can't disagree with the thoughts on pageants, especially ones for kids.  Fucking weird.

It’s astonishing that people still admit to watching beauty pageants.  It was fine if you were a teen before the internet and your dad didn’t have so much as a playboy stashed away. 

But then, these are probably the same mouth-breathers who watch American Idol or The Apprentice. 

I don’t have think I’ve ever watched a Miss America pageant. I may or may not have shoplifted the Vanessa Williams penthouse from a B. Dalton Books once upon a time

Meh, I was more of a Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Contest fan. Miss Reef contests are better too.

Ah, reminds me of Matamoros, Spring Break 1995.

Tahoe is unaware that there are other sub-forums besides Politics.

The only reason men watch this now is to hear how stupid they are when given the microphone and 30 seconds.  On the other hand, I remember having the 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on my dvr for like 4 years.

Not political. Social.

Apparently he did so solely to jerk off to the swimsuit competition.
