Miss USA-Representing the better part of us????


She needs to go to rehab. She gets a second chance She's seen in tears getting a reprieve from "The Donald"
I am so over it all. Brittany's crotch-Paris Hilton's drunken image. Save me from Lindsay's cocaine powdered nose. The drunken arrests.
I say kick her ass off the pageant. Get rid of her. Dump her with great ceremony.
For God's sake, someone stand up and tell our girls they have a right to a little dignity. To respect. That not every girl out there is set for rehab, that she doesn't have to sell her body image as a sexual excuse for being a human beneath all that breast, tits/ass/crotch/pussy /drugs image.
Is this the new culture? Do we all go into life screwing up big time and getting second chances.
I believe in second chances. I've had a few myself.
But since when did this become the central theme we admire in our society?
We must have thousands of people in the world who don't drink, drug and party,who work hard, have dreams, work on making them happen and don't need to destroy themselves and then weep, humiliate and degrade themselves in order to keep what they haven't earned in the first place.
What kind of message do we want to send our kids?
Is it not okay anymore to set an example with high standards for our kids to look up to?
Or is this really all we have to offer our kids in the form of role models anymore?
Drunks, druggies, sluts, corrupt sports figures -rape accusations, infidelity-hard partying-
Is this it?
Since when do we say it's okay to admire and emulate someone who is already fucked up?
I am not saying second chances, rehab and righting one's life should be condemned, judged or "morally rightoused" by any of us. . People screw up.
I just want an example for my fourteen year old daughter which sets out what the "best" is, can be or wants to be-so she has some sense of hope- direction-will,-discipline-admiration,,some positive focus in this crazy, pathetic sexed up media hyped culture.
Donald Trump has sleazed the Miss USA, Miss Teen USA pageants with his own brand of slime.
Now they are just another couple of Brittaney Spears/Paris Hilton look alike contests-slut on a stick-
American girls-step forward and show me your accomplishments, please? Ones that have more to do with integrity-quality-self esteem-intelligence and the message you take care of your body -as in "health"?
