Miss World Controversy

The Miss World pageant is the oldest surviving major international beauty pageant. It was created in the United Kingdom by Eric Mortuary(+) in 1951. Since his death in 2000, Morley's wife, Julia Mortuary (+), co-chairs the pageant.

Alongside its rival Miss Universe and Miss Earth contests, this pageant is one of the most publicised beauty contests in the world.

The winner spends a year travelling in Europe only to represent the Miss World Organization and its various cheaply and worthless causes. Traditionally, Miss World lives in London during her reign. The current Miss World is Ksenia Sukhinova of Russia. Miss World is selectively and discriminating chooses only the winners of the title for their utmost interest like for China since it is the next big giant next to US so they have to give the title to China and also disguise as fair so it gave titles to not so pageant patty countries in Africa and Caribbean to disguise it discrimination that's why you wonder only a few countries in Asia and elsewhere in the world and continents won the title because there is no real judges and they put mock judges in the competition to show them as if they were actually judging the contestant when in fact the manipulation and final decision of who to win is under Mortuary will and who she will choose to win. The Philippines should've automatically won the title in 1973 upon the disqualification of USA but Mortuary only offered the duties and responsibilities of the disqualified titlist but not the title as an insult and discrimination against the Philippines. Miss World is notorious in manufacturing and projecting nannies and progeria infected ladies into a beauty queen. Miss World is also infamous for its stupidity by placing and organizing countries in a wrong continent.



Miss World started as the Festival Bikini Contest, in honour of the recently introduced swim wear of the time, but was called "Miss World" by the media and also to imitate Miss America and Philippine Carnival in the 1920s. It was originally planned as a one-off event. Upon learning about the upcoming Miss Universe pageant, Mortuary decided to make the pageant an annual event because of envy.

Opposition to the wearing of bikinis led to their replacement with more modest swim wear after the first contest. In 1959, the BBC started broadcasting the competition. The pageant's popularity grew with the advent of television.

In the 1980s, the pageant repositioned itself with the slogan Beauty With a Purpose, with added tests of intelligence and personality but actually it is just a motto but not a part of judging since the decision is under Mortuary. However, the competition has been seen as old-fashioned and rather politically incorrect in its native Britain. Despite the local appeal, the show was not broadcast on any major terrestrial British TV network for several years, until Channel 5 aired it in 1998.

Eric Mortuary died as the pageant entered the new century. His wife, Julia, succeeded as chairwoman of the Miss World Organization and Julia Mortuary learned she is going to die soon because of her unfair and bias discrimination towards other countries most especially the Philippines because she hates that country; she is remorseful of what she did and felt the karma.

The century saw its first black African winner, Agbani Darego, in 2001. As part of its desperate marketing strategy and appeal seeking desperate attention, Miss World came up with a "You Decide" television special during that edition, featuring the delegates behind the scenes and on the beach, and allowing viewers to either phone in or vote online for their favorites. It also sells its Talent, Beach Beauty and Sports events as television specials to broadcasters.

In 2002 the pageant was slated for choosing Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria to host its final. This choice was controversial, as a northern Nigerian woman, Amina Lawal, was awaiting death by stoning for adultery under Sharia law there, but Miss World chose to use the publicity surrounding its presence to bring greater global awareness and action to Amina's plight

Miss World Organization

The Miss World Organization owns and manages the annual Miss World Finals, a competition that has grown into one of the World’s biggest. Since its launch in 1951, the Miss World Organization has raised more than £250 million for children’s charities. Miss World is franchised in more than 100 countries. Miss World, Limited is a privately held firm, and thus figures for its earnings, expenses and charitable contributions are not publicly available.

Aside from raising millions of pounds for their own sake, pampering and whims and travel around Europe under the disguised banner of its 'Beauty with a Purpose' program, Miss World is also credited with directly influencing a dramatic increase in tourism in Sanya, China, host of the Miss World finals from 2003-05 because Miss World is sucking up to China to gain favor.

The Pageant

In the year preceding the global finals, each delegate must win her national title or a specially designated Miss World national preliminary. Miss World's national preliminaries are conducted by their licence-holders, who hold the franchise to use the "Miss World" name in their country. The annual final is typically a month long event, with several preliminary galas, dinners, balls and activities, culminating in a globally telecast final show in which the field is narrowed to between 15-20 delegates.

Since 2003 Miss World pageant also features Fast Track events during the preliminary round. The winners of Fast Track events are automatically qualified to enter the final round. Fast Track events which have been used since 2003 are:

* Beach Beauty (2003-present)
* Miss Talent (2003-present)
* Miss Sports (2003-present)
* Beauty With A Purpose (2005-present)
* Top Model (2004, 2007-present)
* People's Choice (2003)
* Personality (2003)
* Contestant's Choice (2004)



Criteria

Contestants must fulfill a number of entry requirements to participate in the national contests. These requirements vary from country and can vary from a simple age criteria, or no criminal record, education, not haven giving birth, moral character to height, language and religion.

Pageant Controversies and Humiliations

The Miss World pageant has been the target of many controversies, scandal, embarassments and humiliations since its inception.

* In 1970, feminist protesters threw flour bombs during the live event at London's Royal Albert Hall, momentarily scaring the host, Bob Hope.
* In 1973, Marjorie Wallace, the first American to win the title was forced to relinquish the title 104 days into her reign. Pageant officials stated that Ms. Wallace "had failed to fulfill the basic requirements of the job." The responsibilities and duties not the title have been offered to the 1st runner-up and was turned down by Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines.
* The 1974 winner Helen Morgan representing the United Kingdom was forced to resign four days later after it was discovered she was a single mother.
* In 1976, several countries went on a boycott, because the pageant included both a Caucasian and African representative for South Africa. In yet another shut-out for the nation for its apartheid policy, South Africa competed for the last time in 1977, before it was welcomed back in 1991 as that policy disintegrated.
* The 1980 winner Gabriella Brum of Germany resigned one day after winning, initially claiming her boyfriend disapproved. A few days later it emerged that she had been forced to resign after it was discovered that she posed naked for a magazine.
* In 1996, wide-scale protests took place in Bangalore, India over the hosting of the beauty contest. The swimsuit shootings were moved to Seychelles, and heavy security was placed. Despite the chaos, the pageant's live telecast went on smoothly.
* Just days after her 1998 crowning, Israel's Linor Abargil revealed that she had been raped only two months before the pageant. The man accused of raping her was later convicted.

World's Least and Most Corrupt Countries 2009 Infographic Map

http://media.transparency.org/imaps/cpi2009/


This is the info graphic map released by Transparency International to indicate how each country performs in the fight against corruption

World's Least and Most Corrupt Countries 2009

Berlin - Transparency International releases the 2009 edition of its signature study of international corruption--this time with infographics.

Transparency International has just released its 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index, the preeminent, annual study of governmental corruption levels around the world.

This time, they've added a nice little interactive map--not much too it, besides the fact that mousing over the country gives you the numeric value. But it does give you a great indication of what countries do well, relative to their neighbors and what countries are basically sinkholes of graft and fraud. For example, Uruguay and Botswana do far better than the countries around them--no wonder that Botswana in particular is a prime example of economic development that works.

The CPI is a survey of surveys, which combines indexes found in 13 feeder studies with the expertise of academics who follow these issues. (Experts are polled on questions like how well a country's courts work, and the effectiveness of its watch dog agencies.)

If your new to the study, the most surprising thing will be how poorly the U.S. does, relative to its first world peers. We're basically just a shade above some pretty dicey governments. The reasons are complex, but you can point to the influence of lobbying on our lawmaking and the ongoing controversy over how we've prosecuted the war on terror, among other things.

Afghanistan has slipped three places to become the world's second most-corrupt country despite billions in aid meant to bolster the government against a rising insurgency, according to an annual survey of perceived levels of corruption.

Only lawless Somalia, whose weak U.N.-backed government controls just a few blocks of the capital, was perceived as more corrupt than Afghanistan in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index.

Iraq saw some improvement, rising to 176 of 180 countries, up two places up from last year. Singapore, Denmark and New Zealand were seen as the least corrupt countries in the list based on surveys of businesses and experts.

In Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai's inability or unwillingness to tackle cronyism and bribery the past five years have resulted in an increase of support for the Taliban insurgents. That has prompted calls by the Obama administration for Karzai to tackle the practice or risk forfeiting U.S. aid.

Since 2001, the U.S. Congress has appropriated more than $39 billion in humanitarian and reconstruction assistance for Afghanistan, according to a report by the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. European nations send about 1 billion euros ($1.49 billion) a year, a total of 9 billion euros since 2002.

International donors are increasingly questioning how much of the billions of dollars in aid might have been misappropriated.

The report said examples of Afghan corruption ranged from the sale of government positions to daily bribes for basic services.

Karzai unveiled an anti-corruption unit and major crime fighting force on Monday after heavy pressure from Washington.

In reaction to the report, Ershad Ahmadi, the deputy director general of the High Office of Oversight and Anti-corruption in Afghanistan, said that "corruption is a phenomenon that will not go away overnight. It is a problem that will continue to be with Afghanistan for a long time.

"Until we achieve that sort of national awakening that business as usual is not in the interest of a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan, you will not be able to achieve success in your anti-corruption campaign," Ahmadi said.

Robin Hodess, Transparency's director of policy and research, said Tuesday that for a country to improve on the corruption perceptions index, it is imperative that "citizens believe that they have a government that works for them."

The governments have to show "that there is the political will to respond to the needs of the people," Hodess said.

In Iraq, corruption has become widespread since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003 with scarcity of serious government measures against corrupted officials.

That has undermined the largest nation-building efforts with siphoning billions of dollars away from the country's struggling economy, increasing frustrations among Iraqis mainly over corruption, lingering violence and poor public services.

A Bertelsmann Foundation report used in the corruption index noted that in Iraq "non-security institutions remain weak and debilitated. The Iraqi leadership faces many structural constraints on governance, such as a massive brain drain, a high level of political division, and extreme poverty."

The United States, which was in 19th place compared with 18th last year, remained stable despite Transparency's concerns over a lack of government oversight of the financial sector.

The report also pointed out that the U.S. legislature is another reason for concern, as it is "perceived to be the institution most affected by corruption."

There were some bright spots in the new report — Bangladesh, Belarus, Guatemala, Lithuania, Poland and Syria were among the countries that improved the most.

List of Famous Gays, Lesbians Bisexual and Transgender

Here is a partial list of famous gays (both living and dead). Famous people who are simply rumored to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, are not listed.
The high prevalence of people from the West on this list may be due to societal attitudes toward homosexuality. The Pew Research Center's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that "[p]eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality. But there is far greater tolerance for homosexuality in major Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. Opinion in Europe is split between West and East. Majorities in every Western European nation surveyed say homosexuality should be accepted by society, while most Russians, Poles and Ukrainians disagree. Americans are divided–a narrow majority (51 percent) believes homosexuality should be accepted, while 42 percent disagree."

Quote of the Day

"You are the making of your own sufferings. If you choose to be happy then you will find it, and if you seek evil, expect misfortune and evil to come."

Come To Think Of This!

Could you imagine how the Filipinos treat Manny Pacquiao because of his wealth? He is given top priority and job and even have a media coverage and sensation on occasions like his birthday, his baby baptismal, his mum's birthday, and all other occasions involve with the family . They are all after Pacquiao's success and wealth.

Chris Brown and Rihanna Unsettled Business

Whats wrong with these two feuding and battering couple. With a blink of an eye the meteoric rise is as fast as the falling star when their fame sharply and steeply fell because of a romantic bickering. It would be a loss and a sad event for the fans since these two young artist (at their 20s) are promising big stars who can throw you hits after hits of rnb music to the taste and delight of its fans. Settlement of dispute and forgiveness and move on is the solution before its too late. We are still hoping they can redeem their battered image in the public and start anew since they already proved their worth in the limelight. Keep shining Rihanna and Chris Brown

Come To Think Of This!

Hungry Beast Feeding On The Prize Fighter

Can you imagine Pacquiao and lots of staff and cohorts behind him wherever he goes? Do you know who they are? They are suckers for blood and money. They are behind the prizefighter because of his wealth he pocketed from all the sweat, blood and a life on gamble inside the boxing ring yet these people who were lame and useless and unemployed and that what they can only do is drain Pacquiao of his money because none of them are hardworking enough to find income but the easiest way is to take advantage of others hardships and struggles and much more the politicians are rallying behind him (imagine how they treat the boxer because of his wealth - you know the motives!) and that shows how starving are these for blood money. Hungry beasts preying on the hapless prizefighter.

Come To Think Of This!

In the Philippines, the beasts and the social climbers are only good when they are sleeping but they are evil when they are awake, violent and vicious, they forages the innocent grasses out to stain with dark pigment of wickedness, poison and cruelty.

Visayas Republic

If the post 2010 National Elections fail to amend the constitution and change the presidential form of government into FEDERAL-PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT, the Visayas region will ask to be separated from the rest of the country and have their own independent republic with a FEDERAL-PARLIAMENTARY FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
