Miss Plus USA

Recently i watched a documentary about the Miss Plus USA Pageant on the NatGeo channel. Their slogan was "They can do anything a skinny girl can PLUS." Yeah anything but fit into their (the skinny girls) clothes. Which is exactly why their pageant can only be found on the National Geographic Channel.
They further explained that another difference (although they acted like it was the biggest difference. but who are they kidding?) between the regular Miss USA and Miss Plus was that in the Plus pageant 50% of the contestants scores came from a double elimination pie eating contest. Na just kidding, (but wouldn't that be awesome?) they came from a thorough question and answer interview segment. My first thought was "god i hope that replaced the swimsuit portion" and my second was to wonder if the subject of world hunger or childhood obesiety ever came up in one of those interviews and if so was it just another elephant in the room?"
It also posed the question "Are plus size pageants reshaping the way we define beauty?" and i can tell you with absolute certainty after watch all 60 minutes of the documentary the answer is definitely: No fucking way. Come on, you know It's all bullshit anyway, the least fattest chick always wins. It's like even they are saying that they beleive people of all shapes and sizes are beautiful..To a point.

But then again there is this.

Which i also only saw because of The Soup.







Oh shit is right.

This might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

It was the clip of the week on The Soup.

Never did i ever in my wildest, craziest fictious dream scenarios that i think up in my head did i ever imagine a woman getting hit in the face by a watermelon launched from a catapult at point blank range. Listen to what is said right before it happens and then watch how the guy in the court jester outfit makes his way over to her. Its like he's half really concerned about her safety and half trying not to laugh in her potentially horribly disfigured face. Then watch for the immediate reaction of the snotty sister.
