I was a big fan of pageants when I was a kid. Not only did I love watching them, I also liked playing beauty pageants with the girls in my neighborhood. I would always be the winner. Bitches that I despised would always nab the “Miss Congenialty” title, with no crowns on their heads whatsoever. Crowns were made of manila paper, and sashes were created from extra strength toilet paper so that they wouldn’t tear off easily. I digress.
Speaking of crowns and pageants, there have been some rumors surrounding the winner of the 2008 Miss Vietnam pageant, Tran Thi Thuy Dung. Rumors were that she was stripped of her crown since she did not graduate from high school. The officials put the rumors to rest and explained to the press that Miss Tran did not violate the pageant rules and will keep her title. The competition rules state that all Vietnamese females who are between 18-27 years of age, have no children, are at least 160cm tall, have never had cosmetic surgery, are single and are high school students or above may enter the competition. Miss Tran was still attending high school when she entered the pageant so she clearly did not violate these rules. By the way, which 18 year old still attends high school? The education system in Vietnam is probably different than the one here. When I was 18, I was a college freshman and was already over beauty pageants. I traded my passion for it with something more elegant and athletic… Synchronized Swimming
By the way, what’s with the “no cosmetic surgery” rule!? The Miss Korea pageant officials tried that this year and look who they ended up with!? A little work on contestants who need it will ensure a high standard of beauty and aesthetics in pageants. Now you may call me a mean bitch after this.

Got this from a friend who knows I am a fan of the real KFC. It's said to be a restaurant in China that imitates the famous franchise, but it's very likely that this is a doctored photo… and that the restaurant didn't exist.
