Fat Woman Wins 'Miss Alabama' And People Have Questions
"Let me tell you a story, about a woman I know...
[Zero Hedge] - An obese woman has won Miss Alabama, with the organizers of the contest insisting that the intention of the beauty pageant was to "foster a positive self-image."

Yes, really.
"When it comes to lovin, she really steals the show..
After Sara Milliken learned that she had won the competition and would go on to represent her state at the national level, she hit back at critics who questioned her weight.

"Even something that you type over a screen can have a lasting impression on people," she told WKRG.
"She ain't exactly pretty, ain't exactly small...
According to a report by the news network, "The purpose of the national American Miss program is to grow confidence and foster a positive self-image."

This despite the fact that the level of obesity displayed by Milliken is linked with all manner of horrible diseases like diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and certain cancers.

Respondents weren’t very impressed with the result.

"Dang I didn’t realize this was a cattle auction," wrote one.
"Fourty two Thirty nine Fifty six
You could say she's got it all...

#1 I thought the idea of a beauty contest was to find the Fairest in the Land?

#2 Miss Navajo requires a sheep shearing event. You need a little more heft to move that sheep.

#4 She has a sweet face, but I’d give her a brighter lipstick, and put her in draped matte fabrics and strong foundation garments. At that weight a good girdle counts as back support, not waist cinching.

I’d hate to have been picked merely because the organizers are making a statement, but clearly she’s not as punctilious.

#5 Say what you will, at least Sara is female.

#7 She has a better smile than Mr. Maryland and isn't all chopped up with plastic surgery.

#8 Nobody is going to want to hear this:
She has the best chance of 'winning' against Mr. Maryland.

#9 Glad to see Miss Alabama epitomizes good, healthy living and promotes exercise. I don't think Little Britain's "Fat Fighters" would even take her.

#10 If she uses the accolade as a fulcrum to become healthy, it would be a story. Hope she does.
