You make two out of three of those sound bad, and what is wrong with a little political correctness? I'm sure you haven't forgotten Carrie Prejean and her wonderful views on homosexuals.

Haha! No, I certainly have not. I also remember all the negative attention that got her and how it led to her being stripped of the crown (they said 'breaches of contract', but we all know better). There is nothing wrong with sponsorships and money (political correctness is retarded, though). My complaint is that the pageant itself serves no other purpose than to objectify women* for profit and to further agendas. Can you provide a single positive thing that comes of it?

*Objectifying women (or anyone else) that are willing to be objectified is acceptable to me, but that seems to be the main goal of the Miss U.S.A. pageant.
