Why would Prejean think it was a good idea to say she was 17 in the pictures?

[HopeHoops]

Wait, I know - the problem word there is "think".

If she HAD been 17, then boob job or not, it would still be child pornography. Yeah, we keep coming back to that "think" word - that's definitely the problem.

Now perhaps the idea was to make it sound like that so people wouldn't post them on the Internet, but our new "GOP Darling" would then have done something that seems a bit worse. We have a major problem with "sexting" among teen girls in this country, so what kind of message is that sending? The boob job is bad enough. They paid for it? What, she wasn't good enough without bigger tits? Another nice "family values" message to send out to young girls who are bombarded with magazines and television content that SCREAMS "You aren't GOOD enough!"

I'm sick of that shit. If you want a REAL beauty contest, ban boob jobs, makeup, and hair spray so you can evaluate the innate beauty every woman has.

1. Because she wanted them to believe she had them donw before she

became Miss California, not after...either way, they area breach of her contract, but in her tiny little mind and in the tiny little minds of her Christian PR firm, they figured this would save them. Maybe it did, because The Donald's tiny little mind bought it.

2. Actually, in Donald's case,

I think it might have involved his tiny little something else!

10. Maybe he doesn't divorce all his wives, maybe they divorce him!

Done? Ivana cried. I didn't realize you had even started!

3. I don't care. She is not important.

4. The idea, I think, is that if the pics really were taken when she was 17

it would be illegal to display them on the net - therefore, by saying she was 17 she could keep them, and any others yet to be discovered, from getting out.

5. To keep them from being published - under 18 is kiddie-porn.

6. Those pictures were not child pornography.

[HopeHoops]

7. They would have been if she actually HAD been 17.

Yes, there are nipple shots (carefully covered with red stars for current public consumption).

But that is my point exactly - why admit to producing child porn? Okay, it was a lie, but still.

[county worker]

8. Your are wrong.

[pnwmom]

9. The pictures were one thing -- she couldn't pretend they hadn't been taken.

But what she was trying to prevent with her lie was the further TRANSMISSION of those pictures, which would be illegal if she were under 18.

11. That's the real issue here, surgery and other fakery

and it's the equivalent of doping in sports that outrages purists there.

However, I guess if all that fakery pumps a skinny little girl's boobs up to grotesque proportions, men are perfectly happy with it.

No normal, intact woman can win these stupid things any more. They're not even beauty contests now, they're contests regarding the relative skill of plastic surgeons, cosmetitians and hair stylists.
