Sarah Palin and the hype about Miss Nepal
A recent pornographic video allegedly features Zenisha Moktan.
However, if someone wants to participate in such an event, someone else wants to make money out of this whole business and if this agreement doesn’t violate any law or practice of the land, why should there be such a fuss? Ok, you call this objectification of the femininity, you call this degradation of values and virtues and you call this a bad example-setter for young girls. If the girls, all of who are old enough to decide for themselves, wish to earn money and fame by objectifying themselves, why should anyone of you object? If an event as avoidable as this can shake your values and denigrate large masses, why don’t you strengthen your values and education system instead? What kind of education have you instilled in your population that it can be mass-hypnotized by such a thing?
Sexy Veep. Former beauty queen, now a celebrity.
While some organizations were busy protesting “Miss Nepal contest”, I was reading news of “Miss Little Girl” that’s now organized by almost every other community and place. While the protesters were cheering on their success in stopping the event, thousands of village girls were silently being trafficked to brothels in India. This farce is a blemish upon the free society and its people. Obviously, this has given participants a free publicity and the organizers have garnered some sympathy. Some people, funnily are also talking about the violation of human rights of the participants and the organizers (though this can’t be disagreed, how the human rights of 16 bimbos becomes national headlines is funny to me). Charges that the protesters are defaming and mentally torturing the participating girls, if true, are very serious and deserve severe punishment.
Incidentally this is an interesting time in the US Presidential election campaign. A former beauty queen, who makes comments dumber than a eighth-grader during televised debates, is the Republican running mate. Based on the early returns, it’s safe to say that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is going to be good for comedy.
If only Tulasa Thapa's tears had caught as much attention as Zenisha's.
It doesn’t take long to figure out on what qualifications Palin bagged the nomination. It pays to be beautiful, to be a woman and to be a beautiful woman. Yes, this is very unfair to many others- some women and many men. Likewise, it is very unfair to all those great number of individuals who have less brains than beauty. After all, everybody can’t become a Hillary Clinton, Hellen Keller, Marie Curie, Lady Augusta Lovelace or a Ramkumari Jhankri. Those who want to put their legs on display or want their breasts to be scored and be applauded for it shouldn’t receive any obstruction from the state machinery. Even Mao’s China has realized it by now. A beauty pageant is just a pageant. By providing it more importance than what it deserves, the Maoists are doing a mistake.
Note: If you don’t know who Tulasa Thapa is, read this.
Exactly everything seems to be pseudo tagged. Neither Human (Women) Right nor political protest about Miss Nepal seems genuine. Bunch of feminist and political activist ranting and organizer trying to gain sympathy by calling press conference haven’t affected much to many people. Many contest like this have passed by without fulfilling even fraction of a percentage of what it is believed to do.
The matter of hype seems ridiculously pathetic to me.

Dude, everything’s ok but I can’t be convinced that a participant of the pageant was so careless to let her own sex video be made public in this time.
Please upload the video here so that we can see it. We will be convinced. Your post will look credible only then.

IMHO, the name ‘beauty contest’ or ‘talent contest’ is misleading. It is a total ‘model selection’ and should be named so.
about sarah palin, there’s a sheer possibility that she might lead republicans to victory. that would be such a disaster; americans r so dumb ass..

Re: Justbeer SIngh (learn to type right first).
The cam could be hidden. Its not necessary that she knew about the cam. Use your brain.
Also, FYI, the video need not be posted just to look credible for you. I.E, it is not a requirement for a rumour to be true just by posting the video for your fucking pleasure.
Glad, I learnt something about Tulasa Thapa. Thanks Bibek for the heads up.

so true that this protests( or not so) are only accelerating the media attention. we have enough space now to doubt about these self-proclaimed protesters’ real mission, they want to put this completely good for nothing “beauty pageant” on a focus-point. it seems that “beauty pageant” is enjoying the tug from either side. why would somebody who has a larger scope to address to join these protests sacrificing their time? do something that is good for society n mankind, fill media pages n divert media attention towards ur work so that they neednt run after such idiotic news stuffs.

Palin was a beauty queen – I didn’t know- must have had been from Alaska (like we care what happens out there- I’m surprised that people even live there.) and Indeed we are witnessing an interesting time in the US. I was thinking- nothing in the world can possibly beat the level of ridiculity in Nepali politics. Clearly I was wrong- who knew even American politics could turn out to be ridiculously farce. Choosing Palin was a sheer PR move. As even Matt Damon says- its like Disney movie gone bad. A total disaster interms of the governing factor. But all that I care nowadays is Tina Fey making an appearance as Palin and giving Americans the much needed humor that had been missing for long on Saturday Night Live.
As for our own Miss Nepal thingy- everybody here seems to agree its just another farce anyway. And those who are trying to stop this whole thing – are just another bunch of asses.
