Pageant winners chosen by appearances
By Lori Finkel | Feb. 21, 2008I was saddened to read Matt Meltzer's response to the Alligator's take on the Miss UF pageant in yesterday's paper. How does "well-rounded" mean hot?

If you aren't pretty, no one cares. You don't qualify, you aren't a good role model and you don't get any money.
