A new kind of beauty contest
Somebody sent this to me as a joke, but I kind of like the general idea....
Instead of, or at least in addition to, beauty contests that display airheads and bimbos in bathing suits, have a beauty contest for morals... They do it in Saudi Arabia already...
"There are no such displays in ultra-strict Saudi Arabia, where until Miss Beautiful Morals was inaugurated last year, the only pageants were for goats, sheep, camels and other animals, aimed at encouraging livestock breeding."
We could do it in the Jewish world too... but for one problem: "Hatznea leches" is not just about physical modesty, but behavioral modesty. Entering a public, televised competition to show how righteous you are is an immediate disqualification in your righteousness!
Still, it definitely beats the human cattle parades of the secular world... :)
