Last year my college made a ham our beauty queen... Every year the college I attend has a beauty pageant. The winner is then crowned 'Miss SUU' and has to attend a bunch of bullshit events while having her mug posted up on the wall of former winners. Last year they awarded this honor to a girl who is easily 300 lbs and feels the need to always wear yoga pants around campus. She is a disgusting pig and proof of our culture becoming more PC and accepting to fats. My roommate last year was on the panel for choosing Miss SUU and came home infuriated after the pageant. He explained to all of us that the only reason she won was 'because they wanted a fat girl to win and make the school look good.' She wasn't pretty, smart, funny, talented (for her talent she wore spandex and was talking about how brave she was), or even a good representation of what our school is like. But the other judges felt it was a good idea to turn her into a symbol for fat acceptance. Here is a story written about her that includes a picture from far away as to hide her grotesque-ness: http://suu.edu/news/2014/09/cookie-cutter-mold-broken-with-new-miss-suu.html
