"an individual of note contributing to our community."
Toronto gives Miss Universe cold shoulder
Last Updated Tue, 19 Jul 2005 16:01:39 EDT CBC News The city of Toronto, which years ago prevented the Barenaked Ladies from playing at City Hall because of the group's name, has now barred Miss Universe from opening a festival over concerns about sexual stereotyping. "I was a little bit hurt by the whole thing. I love Toronto. It's my hometown," said Natalie Glebova, the 23-year-old Canadian woman who captured the Miss Universe title in Bangkok in May.
Glebova was set to open the Tastes of Thailand festival last weekend at Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square. But the Thai Trade Centre received word that Glebova would not be allowed to act in her capacity as Miss Universe. According to a city bylaw, "activities which degrade men or women through sexual stereotyping, or exploit the bodies of men, women, boys or girls solely for the purpose of attracting attention," are not permitted on Nathan Phillips Square. Glebova could still open the festival, organizers were told, but under strict conditions. She couldn't wear her sash or tiara, and couldn't be referred to as either Miss Universe or a beauty queen. Instead, organizers were told, they could refer to her as "an individual of note contributing to our community."

If they are going to have the Miss Universe contest in Bangkok, they damn well should have some new events.
After the swimsuit contest, there will be an anal gangbang featuring a mixture of coked up tourists and back alley midget ladyboys. The cock smoke while getting it hard from behind will be the tie breaker, and the closing ceremonies will feature bovine bukakke! Don't forget to pick up a rain poncho if you're sitting in the front 5 rows. |
