I find it disturbing that there seems to be far more outrage over female celebrites' private actions as "outrageous" and "immoral" than males.
They're different kinds of celebrity. Miss USA has a (ludicrously silly, we agree) moral component tucked in, whereas men's beauty pageants are little more than niche affairs by comparison.
The organizations exist because a supply of willing competitors exist.
The girl, Tara Conner, looks like a pretty normal Maxim swimsuit girl from the pics - her implants appear well-done, she can probably get modelling jobs at a decent clip, and you'll see plenty of girls like her around LA on a Saturday night.
She chose to enter a contest with a ludicrously silly moral component.
She then, after winning, chose to do coke.
Donald Trump, most likely evaluating his chances of sleeping with her at a later date, grants her a reprieve.
This is so creepy. Tara Conner, the Miss USA pin-up from Kentucky, is sobbing on TV right now, thanking Donald Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe franchise, for giving her a "second chance" after she was caught in Manhattan snorting coke, kissing a girl, and sneaking men into her hotel room on her 21st birthday. Scroll down here to see her photo. This young woman has been encouraged since the age of four to display her body on stage for panels of judges. Now the same system that fed upon her nascent sexuality snaps back in judgement, policing her adult sex and social life. Tara, lose these assholes. It's your body, your sex life, and your right to kiss a girl.

And all the world is in balance as usual.
