I don't think any worse of her for having that opinion; I trash-talk beauty pageants, so I would be a hypocrite if I thought otherwise. To each her own.

They should really drop the talking part of that show, or limit it to stuff that doesn't make them looks tupid, or set an IQ bar or something.
But i guess having to compete with women who are both smart and pretty would be too hard for them.
I guess it's lucky for her that she looks pretty, when she's stupid like that. But why glorify her? i mean theres tons of smart, funny and pretty women (all 3 at the same time) out there, but i guess they don't want the stamp of "glorified stupid chick"

Generally, beeing a miss something or not, people shouldn't talk badly about stuff they don't know about.

Y'know when I was young I managed to find time to play the latest video games AND play in the street with sticks -- they aren't mutually exclusive.

Honestly, I agree with her somewhat. Obesity in young kids is on the rise, because of bad food choices and a sedentary lifestyle. Young children should spend far more time playing outside than playing video games. Parents too lazy to raise their kids feed them crap and sit them in front of the tv instead of playing with them. Video games shouldn't be eliminated as a form of entertainment, but should definitely be limited.

However, I'm most troubled by the fact that she won Miss America. There is no way that she is the hottest woman in the country. I see many women more attractive than her every day.

I'm not listening to MPs or frumpy mums.
Like hell am I going to listen to a talentless contest winner.

"Take away the TV! (Unless, of course, they watching the Miss American Pageant, The Apprentice, or any other shows that my boss, Donald Trump, has money staked in!)"

I used to play outside as a kid, but its banned by law these days - if a child goes outside withour a hazmat radiation suit, steel-toe cap boots, protective goggles and at least three adults who have been screened by the government to prove they aren't perverts then the health-and-safety police will take them away and lock them in a padded cell with sterlised , gender neutral toys and gluten-free, lactose-free luke warm hot chocolate.

You don't even want to know what they do if you try to play conkers!

I remember climbing trees....
MY GOD. What country are you from?
England. The sad part is, I'm only half joking...

Oh for god sakes would these people just shut up? Outside is so overrated, especially when you live in a place where outside is fucking COLD 3/4 of the year.

I can't think of the video game industry ever having tried to recruit a Miss America or similar celebrity (which is a bit differant than being a model or porn star) as a spokesperson.
Different how? She just threw away her chances of using her broadcast journalism degree with her comment on tv's. Her face ain't gonna get her on any fashion magazine covers. That mouth however is just full of potential, and I don't mean its speaking ability.
Your argument does have merit, but she is trying to sell herself to the government that has been suppressing physical education year after year until quite a few schools don't even have anything beyond extra curricular sports(and how much longer before those start getting targeted as being too dangerous for kids?). And you have to be fit to qualify for those. So where does that leave those who aren't getting out on the teams? They are focusing more of their energy either wasting away on something else, or spending time behind the computer.
Obama is all about kids getting physical, but has he done a single thing to reverse Bush's policies? Nope. So the schools are stuck helpless while parents whine that their kids aren't getting fit, and these days a lot of parents ain't got the time themselves to help train their kids to keeping fit.
Argh! Now I gone got on another rant. Bad Sam!
What the hell are you talking about? Every High School and Middle School in my entire county has at least a generic Gym class, and the vast majority are mandatory for at least one semester. Most of the high schools even go so far as to branch into Weights, Aerobics, Team Sports, etc. in their programs. Whatever the fitness crisis seems to be in school, it's not Obama's call, it's eventually just the decision of the state and the school board.

I'll start putting stock in what Ms. America winners have to say when they let a real woman win. You know, healthy, well-rounded, respectable women with some actual meat on their bones that don't remind me of preened up starvation victims. She's the last person who should be issuing fitness decrees, poor girl would probably collapse after running a few yards. These contests are so degrading.

As for her opinion on video games, its just dust in the wind. No one will remember her in a couple of months.

"and we should eliminate poverty for the children in poor countries!" - says the teary-eyed stereotype.
