Calif. pageant may dump Prejean
By The Associated Press
05.06.2009 9:11am EDT

(San Francisco, California) The directors of the Miss California USA pageant are looking into whether title holder Carrie Prejean violated her contract by working with a national group opposed to same-sex marriage and by posing semi-nude when she was a teenage model.

Pageant spokesman Roger Neal said Tuesday it appears Prejean has run afoul of several sections of the 12-page contract that all prospective contestants were required to sign before competing in the November state contest.

The detailed document prohibits the titular Miss California from making personal appearances, giving interviews or making commercials without permission from pageant officials. In the last 10 days, Prejean has made televised appearances at her San Diego church and on behalf of the National Organization for Marriage, a group opposed to same-sex marriage.

The contract also contains a clause asking participants to say whether they have conducted themselves “in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards.” As an example, it asks if they have ever been photographed nude or partially nude.

1. God Bless California ... for "full representation" and "good taste" if they can pull her title.

11. I was wondering the same thing.
Is there a "boobie repossession" clause in the contract?

12. Doing lesbian scenes, no less. But I guess that's ok if you're NOT married to the person.

26. Actually, I think this will be good for her. Her pageant career had pretty much
run its course anyway, and now she'll be able to carve out a nice little niche as the 'persecuted beauty queen who stood up to the evil left.' If the RWers have fawned over the plumber for so long, she's probably set for life...

7. It's still funny
to see the fundies over at Freeptardville defending her. I lurk over there occasionally, and I knew that anything involving her would be the most exciting mental gymnastics to watch until it's time for the next Summer Olympics, and so far, I've been right.

Somehow, they blame the semi-nude photos of her on "the homosexual lobby". Yeah, like some gay guys said, "Take off your clothes, honey, we wanna shoot pictures of you half nekkid!"

She's done a good job of nailing herself to an imaginary cross!

30. Carrie, dear:
Please remove thyself from your cross. We need the lumber to build the next mega-church. Or at least the altar for the next mega-church.

31. They probably mean: supporters of equal rights are responsible for making sure
the photos were made public. And, they are no doubt correct about that.

The only thing that confuses me is why they seem to disparage that. It's not as though these were private photos. So, it's an unreasonable reaction on their part.


BTW, I think it's very unreasonable of you to expect them to be able to articulate their thoughts, but thanks for giving me an opportunity to practice my Freeper to English translation skills.

21. Don't forget fake - God made her with small breasts and brown hair
but she wouldn't accept what God made her and got herself a bad boob job (can those breats be any further to the side) and bottle blonde hair.

29. Yup, that's what I meant by a cheater.
I know it's not against any "rule" but she definitely tried to game the system by getting a boob job and hair coloring. And yes, I'm well aware that virtually every contestant in these things is doing the same but that still doesn't mean she didn't use artificial means to try to boost her chances of winning.

20. She wants us to accept what God says is natural (ie Marriage) but she wouldn't accept what God....
gave her naturally.

I find it odd that a woman, with fake (and horribly botched) breasts and bottled blonde hair is going to tell me what is natural and normal when it comes to marriage.

23. This marriage group is accused of violating copyright and won't comply with demands to stop
From the Op article...

Meanwhile, the Miss Universe Organization, which also owns the Miss USA pageant, confirmed Tuesday that it had sent a letter demanding the National Organization for Marriage to remove the Prejean spot from the air and the group’s Web site. It includes footage from the April 19 pageant.

The Miss Universe Organization “neither sanctions nor disapproves of the viewpoints expressed in the advertisement but cannot allow its copyrighted material to be used without permission to support the National Organization for Marriage’s political agenda and fundraising efforts,” organization President Paula Shugart said.

NOM executive director Brian Brown said the group did not plan to comply with the pageant’s request.

“It is clearly fair use, and all they are attempting to do is silence us by using false legal claims,” Brown said. “But they have another thing coming if they think these ads are coming down. None of us are relenting, least of all Carrie.”



I'm no lawyer but I don't see how it's allowed that they can use copyrighted material without permission in order to raise money.

the more I'm wondering if she's not the anti-Christ with a boob job?

28. Some Christian ... nothing but a HYPOCRITE
I was educated in a private school that was Christian and being a HYPOCRITE was considered a big sin, she needs educating on Christian principles. :silly:
