Beauty pageant sabotage?
Why is this such major news?
The Today Show spent like 10 minutes talking to this girl like it was a major catastrophe, a huge disaster, tragic!
"Pageant organizers said they hope to catch and expose whoever was responsible for dousing Rivera's evening gowns with pepper spray and spiking her makeup, causing her to break out in hives."
She won anyway, but beauty pageants are just so outdated in my opinion, and there have been rumors of them being rigged for years, other scandals like sex, nude or inappropriate photos, and now pranks bordering on sabotage.
But really, was this a major news story?
I've been up since 5:45am, watched all the local morning news, and have been watching the Today Show since it started this morning at 7am.
They had this story in the top 10 minutes of the show, as a major news item.
But is it really?
The contestants are getting more and more catty every year, blackmailing each other, attempting to tarnish each other, and some of these girls are just dim witted twits, so why is this stuff making the mornings breaking news?
I don't get it.
Yes horrible, her gowns and makeup were supposedly doused in pepper spray, but pageant officials aren't even totally sure it happened as the girl claims.
I just find it totally ridiculous that this made the top news stories of the day.
Did nothing else really important happen anywhere in the world?
Comments
It is very strange, sometimes, how fluff stories are blown way out of proportion to reality. For instance, the news channels COULD HAVE featured the Really Big News that Britney is not, in fact, pregnant again.
Now, THAT'S the news we need to know.
