Beauty Contest, Scandi- Style

Frickin' icebacks.

REYKJAVIK (AFP) - An alternative beauty pageant to be held in a remote Icelandic town will reward contestants' wrinkles, saggy breasts and other bodily imperfections and hopes to challenge Western ideas of beauty, organisers said Wednesday. "Anyone can make the rules about what beauty is, we want to change the rules," one of the contest's organisers, Matthhildur Helgadottir, told AFP.

"We think it's just coincidence if you have big breasts. How come this is beautiful? We are trying to show how ridiculous this is," Helgadottir said.

Yeah, good luck with that.
Does it surprise anyone that the organizers are feminists?

And puffin- fellators, of course.

OK, Scandi, so you weren't lucky enough to be born with the genes for a great rack or a pretty face. Boo hoo.

Your boyfriend is a reindeer. As long as the alfalfa's green, you're the most beautiful woman he's ever seen.

The more I hear about feminism, the more I think it is merely political cover for ugly women who refuse to cultivate pleasant personalities.

Thanks to skinbad, whose great-great-grandfather was a puffin rustler. This should not be construed as an attempt to malign the character of his descendants.
