Miss Plastic Surgery

(Beijing, China) The winner was announced today in the Miss Plastic Surgery (or Miss Artificial Beauty) Pageant. Topping twenty contestants aged 17 to 62 was 22-year-old Feng Qian.

Congratulations to the sawbones who sliced and diced Feng Qian to the winners circle and $6,000. Probably of more interest were two other candidates in the competition, a wax-faced 62-year-old and a bobbitized transsexual, who shared the Best Media Image award.

Obviously, the pageant is newsworthy as a frivolous novelty and that's about it. Nobody is ever going to convince me that it's a legitimate competition when you've got de-withered grandmothers and lopped sex changers comparing scars and skin with girls as young as 17.
