Is nothing "sacred" anymore???

Question

Did you see what they've done to the Miss America Pageant??? Will the next generation be totally lacking of "traditions"?

Answer 1

no.. i havent.. sorry.. what did they do?

Answer 2

No

No

No

Answer 3

No, I didn't see. Deenie, are you saying that the Miss America Pageant did something alternatively scientific or mathematical that didn't sit well with you? LOL :)  If the host asked any of those girls a question on science or math, I think you'd see smoke coming out their ears. Now THAT would be fun to see.

Answer 4

I might have seen the Miss America Pageant all the way through once in my life.  I don't recall ever thinking of it as sacred.

I think traditions of all sorts have probably fallen by the way.  Likely as not tv will make up some more for future generations.

Answer 5

i'm so curious how you chose which topic to put this question in.

Answer 6

Of course "Nothing" is still sacred.  This country is full of people who worship nothing.

Answer 7

Um, a corporate marketing creation like the Miss America Pageant is just that, a corporate creation...like MacDonalds's TV commercials. It's not part of our culture except peripherally, it's not a "sacred"  tradition, and it's not something to get one's nickers in a twist over. Get out more, you have been watching too much TV. :)

Answer 8

I know what you mean Denie, but things change.  In my opinion the Miss America show--and all pageants for that matter--is just a cattle call anyway, so it's never appealed to me one way or the other.

Answer 9

Nothing has ever been "sacred".As long as there are pageants and beauty contests women will never truly be equal.

Answer 10

No, nothing is sacred anymore.

I didn't watch Miss America, however, I have recently watched "Miss Congeniality" with Sandra Bullock (my wifes choice of movies). That was enough pagentry for me.
