Beauty queens take a stand against stoning. I guess it's bad luck for Miss World that their contest this year was scheduled to take place in a country increasingly subject to Sharia law. Meanwhile Nigerian Muslim activists decry neckless nudity.
"stoning, would like, so ruin my makeup! tee hee!"

Honestly, I have more respect for beauty pageant types after reading that story. They're giving up a chance to win the title they've been working towards for ages because of human rights. If they were even half as ditzy as the stereotypes suggest I don't think we would see so many pulling themselves out of the contest.

Perhaps they're worried about getting killed themselves?

Neckless nudity?
