I Am Somewhat Upset Over Two Things (Miss America related)

if you mean Carrie Prejean, there was indeed a sex tape.

“CNN subsequently reported that Prejean’s settlement with Miss California USA officials was driven by the discovery of a recording in which Prejean masturbated while another individual filmed her.”

You want maybe she should have filmed herself? The camera shake’s terrible.

Well, it would pretty ignorant of me to assume that all ignorance could be ultimately defeated. It would be a waste of effort to combat twitter-bigots. I’d rather just mock them.

We have two main weapons in the fight against Ignorance. Facts, Logic, Sarcasm… Three! Three main weapons in the fight against Ignorance. Facts, Logic, Sarcasm, Mockery and Shaming. Five! Five main weapons…

It’s not the number of people in the room, it’s the number of cameras.

Geez, I did not expect …

It always did when National Lampoon did it.

Of course she shouldn’t have filmed it herself! In fact, I would go far as to volunteer to be the cameraman if she plans to make another one.

I’m in the book Carrie.

…we’ll come in again.

I think you are wanted by the majority of “us”. But remember, haters are everywhere and then tend to be vocal about it. Hate is a great attention-getting advice and many haters are seeking just that.

People say shit like this when they believe that only like-minded listeners are in earshot. So if everyone just ignores them, they won’t go away. On the contrary they will assume that they are safe to express these beliefs and that everyone else who doesn’t object must hold similar opinions.

Bigot-shaming is a good way to remedy their confusion.

No - she’s not in India.

It does? I don’t even know what Wrhnic humor is. :wink:

I think the jokes are making light of something so absurd that there is no serious answer to it - the lovely Nina was born in the US, she’s an American citizen, and as far as we know, she won fair and square. That she’s the wrong colour for some of the idiots on the internet is completely ridiculous.

And, she can’t be a Muslim, because she’s not from The Iraq. :slight_smile:

For what it’s worth, the first Google hit for “wrhnic” was a white supremacist video game.

Here is an interesting article. Some Indian commentators are saying that Miss America is too dark to win a pageant in India. Apparently most contestants use surgery and skin lightening products.

It’s probably true.

And she should teach kindergarten until she gets married. And her mother is her best friend.

“Ethnic humor”. I blame that damned iPhone!

Has a long tradition that continues even today. It’s a sad day when we can’t laugh at ourselves…

In what way were you the butt of the joke?

If I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand.

You are correct. I don’t understand how ‘Miss America was outsourced?’ is a joke at your expense and not hers.
