Ugly is the word
I don't want to complain but why is it that the girls running for Miss Singapore Universe are so freaking ugly, year after year? Not only are they ugly but their English is so bad that they...totally sound Singaporean!
And please people, stop saying "I have a dream, just like Martin Luther King". First of all, you have no right comparing yourself to that great man. Secondly, your dream (wild fantasy, to be exact) is nothing like his. You don't dream that you are a black person and that one day, you can seat in the front of the bus just like the white folks, do you? Yea, guessed as much. And plus, it is weird to have a dream about making wildlife documentaries on copulating monkeys. It just isn't right. Forgot which one of the girls said it. They all have pretty forgettable faces. "Pretty forgettable" as in "rather forgettable" and not "pretty but forgettable".
The whole thing is a farce. I mean the contest. The girls are stupid. It would be okay if they are also pretty. You can be pretty and stupid but you can't just be stupid. Viewers like myself, no scrap that, I don't watch MSU. Viewers who are brainless enough to watch the show/contest are going to feel cheated, if that is, they are smart enough to actually realise they are being duped. For the rest of us, superior beings, we are overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. Like how we see the Africans elect murderers, plunderers or imbeciles to be presidents through not-very-democratic elections.
Could that fact that most of these "beauties" are either 1) NUS undergraduates or 2) air stewardesses be the root cause of their blandness and... stupidity? Alright, in all fairness, some of them may be real smart. Just not something that is exactly appreciated in a beauty contest. What do beauty contest winners do anyway? Tour the world and spread the messages of love? Take part in even more contests?
Why am I so irrationally angered by all this? Perhaps I am just jealous because I am a "Ugly Betty" myself? Yea, that's the reason.
