But I did laugh at her statement. It sounded just like a beauty queen speech, complete with thanking God at the end! [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]

The anonymous sender threatened in a letter to release the photos publicly if Polumbo doesn't drop out of the Miss America pageant. She has refused to do so.Her lawyer, Anthony Caruso, has said that fictitious captions added to the photos were more troubling than the photos themselves. He said some of photos came from Polumbo's former Facebook Web page.

The pictures are pretty tame. Shows pictures of some guy nuzzling her (clothed) breast, and it looks like a joke, just goofing around.
In one way, I think, good for her. Don't back out of the pageant because of some pictures that show you as less than virginal. Bring these idiots into at least the 20th century, if not the 21st century, where you don't have to be a virgin to be a perfect "Miss".
On the other hand - the woman is participating in a beauty pageant. She's perpetuating the sexist system anyhow.
