Miss Teen USA

I am not sure I understand what the purpose of the Miss Teen USA pageant is.  This isn’t some rant about the over abundance of beauty related images being thrown at our youth everyday. It isn’t even a rant about the idea that we put crowns upon their heads and place them on a pedestal for doing little other than walking right and looking beautiful that somehow the content of their character means little and their intelligence even less.  This is just a simple question…why?  Why do continue to parade this spectacle of nothing on our televisions?  

 Enlighten me.
