miss universe 2007

So, who watched the Miss Universe pageant last night? Japan won. (Rightfully so, in my opinion ... she was the spunkiest, had the best evening gown and was pretty darn attractive.) The competition was in Mexico City. I'm sure the place is great and all, but geez. What a rowdy audience. Everyone booed Miss USA, especially after she fell on her rear end and got chosen for the top five anyway. I wasn't sure if the audience's bad behavior was a reflection of USA getting chosen over Miss Mexico, or if it had more to do with American immigration policies toward Mexicans. Perhaps it was a combiniation of both. At any rate, the audience behaved in a really tasteless manner. I felt so bad for Miss USA. She looked so stunned after she fell. Poor girl. She placed fifth.

Miss Korea, who placed in the top five, was another interesting contender. Rumor has it that she's had tons of plastic surgery, including work on her eyes and cheeks. I have a feeling all the women involved have had at least some work done. They all look the same, which is interesting considering Koreans and Brazilians don't normally look alike.

I went to the Miss Universe webpage (http://www.missuniverse.com) and looked at some of the contestants. Angola, India, and Japan rocked the house. All three were top finalists as well. Angola and India should have been in the top 5, but these things are so fake anyway, it's probably all decided in advance and fixed.

Here's the clip of Miss USA falling on her butt:

That's got to be so mortifying.

What's worse, here's Miss USA getting booed by the Mexican audience:

Brutal!! I think the Miss Universe audience owes Miss USA an apology. It isn't her fault America is unpopular or that the competition is clearly fixed in favor of North American nations.

I realize this is a pretty shallow post, but I am a female, and I dig stuff like this, soooo ... put up with it this one time. (insert smiley face here.) It also has nothing to do with New York, buuuuut ... well, who cares? It's entertaining!
