Miss Puerto Rico becomes Miss Universe then Faints

missun2.jpg

Miss Japan's final question was clearly lost in translation as she was asked what moment in history would she change if she could and answered about how men and women are different because men use their power incorrectly.

Miss USA turned out to be a ditz, Miss Switzerland was dull, Miss Paraguay had no curves and a gap in her front teeth which meant that Miss Puerto Rico with her freakishly (manufactured?) good-looks and f-me lips won it all at the annual event held this year at the Shrine Auditorium.

Plus her dress was insanely hot.

Actually Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza, 18, from Salinas, Puerto Rico, was literally so hot that she fainted during a news conference after the pageant. Just like a girl.

"She's OK. She's fine," pageant representative Lark Anton told Reuters. "She got dizzy. It's very hot up here. Her dress is tight -- as you could see it was beaded and heavy. She passed out."

You know they say that envy can kill. Maybe you should learn to love yourself a little more rather than spitting your venomous envy towards innocents. And as far as Miss Universe looking freakish - why don't you post a picture of yourself and let us decide who's freakish - Do you dare!

 

Relax, dan.

 

The Swiss Miss is mine all mine.

 

"Miss Puerto Rico with her freakishly (manufactured?) good-looks and f-me lips won it all at the annual event held this year at the Shrine Auditorium."

This means she's hot. Your English, obviously, is freakishly bad.

 

After seeing a picture of the new Miss Universe on the front page of Yahoo! I was awe struck and decided to express myself by sketching her. Am I the next Leonoard DaVinci? You be the judge...

 

if i was to be envious of anyone it wouldnt be anorexic teens, it would be donald trump who made a fortune last night off the girls.

 

In all fairness to Mr. Trump, the pageant has been a lot cleaner since he took over. If you go back and look at some of the picks in the 1980's, it was like Don King and the WBC was in charge.

 

Throw Miss Puerto Rico in an outdated 80's blouse and miniskirt, and put her on Santa Monica Blvd and Vine, and she possibly could pass for a she-male tranny! Thats real talk!

 

To smo@smo.com: Maybe we should throw you in an outdated 80's blouse and miniskirt and put you in Santa Monica Blvd and Vine and, for sure, YOU will pass for a she-male tranny.

 

I probably would make quite a beautiful she-mail tranny me thinks.

 

JAPPAN WOULDA WON!!!!

 

JAPAN SHOULD OF WON!!!!

 

You misunderstood the question that was given to Miss Japan. It was "If you have opportunity to change something in the history of humanity, what would you change and why?

Actually the interpreter failed to ranslate "Why?"

Miss Japan answered, "I believe there is not so much difference between man and woman but only biggest differences will be physical power. Sometimes man exploit with his power. If you can really relinquish, that kind of violence and also kind of exploitation, the world would be better.
