  1. I see hotter chicks in my pR0n collection

  2. You’re fucking with me, right?

  3. Seriously? Is this for real? Half of them look like bad trannies!

  4. Miss Massachusetts has that sexy girl-next-door thing working for her, and Mississippi and Michigan are pretty cute, and Miss North Carolina and Colorado are hot. Miss Maryland – you’ve got a lovely face, but step away from the Old Country Buffet if you’re going to be in a swimsuit competition. Miss Kansas looks like she got her haircut at Lillith Fair, and really, that’s the best Florida could do?

    For the record, Miss New York looks like a go-er. Know what I mean?

  5. Did they switch this contest to inner beauty or something?

  6. LOL, you guys are brutal. You wouldn’t kick any of these girls out of bed, admit it. While I acknowledge that I would hope for more in a beauty contest, these girls are far from ugly.

  7. personally, I’g glad they finally got girls who were not anorexic. And also its not really any of your places to criticize any of them, they are at least doing something with their lives instead of posting mean things about them on a blog.

  8. Where’s Miss New Mexico? Was she just that ugly? Or was somebody just too stupid to remember that New Mexico is still one of the 50 states?

  9. That headshot of Miss Kansas is really annoying; you have to tilt your head to view it properly.

  10. miss nevada looks worse than the 10 dollar blowjob hookers i see on the strip.

  11. There is a state between Arizona and Texas called New Mexico ever heard of it.

  12. [...] private areas in this bikini -The 10 greatest celebrity boob jiggling videos is kind of awesome -Everything you could possibly need to know about this year’s Miss America (with pics of course… -Sophie Anderton is Australian, boobs -Lucy Pinder presents her chest for your approval -Alessandra [...]

  13. “WTF?!?!?” moment for me upon seeing Miss Maryland’s bikini shot.

  14. I apologize for the omission of Miss New Mexico. She has returned. Not sure how that happened, but I did notice the number of photos seemed off. Oh well, problem rectified.

  15. I swear about half of these chicks are sportin a small penis.Look!!

  16. They aren’t bad looking, it’s just it seems they’re lying about their ages, they look more like 29-33 years old than 19-23.

  17. Fat. Fupa. Gut. Thunder thighs. Ick.

  18. Thanks, Zach. Now my spank bank for today is complete.

  22. Wow. About 30% make the cut. Another 30% O.K., stage moms worked them like mules for twenty years or so, and this is their moment. The others, damn, we’re talkin’ “coyote” ugly! Take off the make-up and give them “bed head” and you’d chew your arm off to escape in the morning.

    Look for me in 2010. I’ll be the man in a wig, sporting a package and beer belly. Who knows, I might win.
