The commenters have been clamoring for a little skin from the Miss USA pageant held last night. Since this is a family-oriented site, we'll strike a compromise by showing one of the lovelies getting entangled in a little socio-cultural hot-button issue.
Here's Miss California, Carrie Prejean, of our humble little burg in the extreme southwest corner of the nation, San Diego, answering a question about.... gay marriage?
Enjoy that 2nd place finish, sweetheart and remember to stay on point, next time.
H/T: Deadspin
Commenter X-tacle contributed: The answer sparked a shouting match in the lobby after the show.
This was immediately followed by an evangelical and a gay man having a windmill fight.

What ever happened to the those questions that could be answered with "world peace?"

I'm a little lost as to why they would ask that question as well. "Miss California, would you please hold this lightning rod for the next few minutes while our judges glance sideways at your capacity to conduct electricity?"
Was Miss CA's question equitable in its 1.1 Gigawatt Capacity to the one for Miss NC, or any of the other contestants for that matter?
But, more importantly...
BwD, photos, please. Worthless post without the bikini photos. Utterly and hopelessly and completely useless.

Damn it!

Wait, do we all agree that this was a stupid and inappropriate question?
WTF?
Foxfier, I certainly agree with you that the question was stupid and inappropriate.
I'm not sure it was so much inappropriate, as it might have just been unfair.
Again, I'd have to know what the other contestants were asked. If the rest were all being served up slow-pitch softballs, and Miss CA got a knuckle-curve, then it's a tad unfair.
You know, if every other other candidate got a question like "What's your view on abortion, Miss Alabama?", "What do you think about evolution, Miss Nebraska?" or "How do you feel about the Yankees, Miss NY?", then I'd say the Miss CA question is a wash.

BwD,
And you complain about me going off-point! Just wait until I have a book to sell come this fall!! I'm going to double the size of Camera Fanatic's post.

Oooh, what's the topic going to be?
If it's about distilled spirits, it can be sorta-kinda on topic ANYWHERE here!
You'll like it, Sailorette. I read an advanced copy and it's definitely a roller coaster. But I'm under a gag-order by the actual author at this time as to specifics. It's tentatively called "Heroes of Kandahar", though that will probably change by the October release date.
Anyway, here's the author's website and an ever-so-brief teaser on the topic. You'll have to cut & paste...

Oddly, I have a hard time reading non-fiction on serious topics.
I can read information sources without end, I enjoy fantasy and science fiction and even Gaslamp Fantasy, but reading non-fiction, especially about war... I just can't stand it.
I can listen to people tell their stories, but if it's not at least some form of humor, I just can't read them.
It does sound like a fantastic story, though.
Foxie, I've read one of the author's other offerings, "The Last Season". He took a topic that I thought would make my eyes bleed and turned it into a great read. Again, non-fiction.
P.S. In order to get comment exchange kicked into high gear, I am only going to do gay marriage posts from here on out.
She would have been disparaged for her answer in any case. Her answer was predicable, she had professed her beliefs prior to the question. Mr Judge Fagula wanted to put forth his agenda. It was shameful. Why didn't he ask her about the fraudulent global warming crises?
But she was inarticulate in her response. It didn't help her "cause" to stammer and stutter and lack the ability to express herself.
That being said, Mr Cat said it best, "It's a freaking Miss America Pageant" We don't care about her views on the current bail-out, creation science, global warming or Mr. Lloyd's socialist fantasies.
We want to know her turn-on/offs, measurements, and what she likes to eat.
What the heck was this fagula doing judging anything more than a Chippendales show?
Where the hell did Mr. Camera come from. Why didn't we ask Miss California for her take on the Levin book? Mr. Lloyd writing a book? Better find the crayons.
Camera Fanatic, you took the words right out of my mouth. And given the size of your cut and paste job, you took the words out of several other people's mouths as well.
Road Dawg, I'm LOL at your comment.
Dawg,
Books are these things where several sheets of paper are fastened together. Each piece of paper has several words. Put the words together, they make a story.
Some of us with an education and research skills are asked to contribute to these things.
You'll probably want to start with the kind that have pictures in them.
Lots and lots of pictures.
