   Recently we have been talking about the different creative ways to expose our society's issues. Using online editorials and humorous articles every one can present their opinion along with an interesting and enjoyable twist, sarcasm. Personally, I love being sarcastic. It's my way of dealing with kinds of situation. Obviously, I enjoyed  this research and had a good laugh through it.
     I chose a fun article mixing two pretty well known topics: beauty pageants and homosexuality. Here comes the link:

      After reading this humorous editorial I couldn't help but laugh. This article present a perfect example of beauty pageant contestants stereotype. "I will go anywhere, anytime, anyway to make my case," Miss  California said. "These breasts are made for walking." The model insisted that the best way to support homosexuals is to pose naked in front of  a camera showing her perfect silicone breasts. Everyone's reaction was immediate. Donald Trump, who owns Miss USA pageant praised Ms. Prejean for her fearlessness in the face of harsh criticism stating, "I like what I've seen of Carrie and I hope to see much more of her". I know I'm not the only one thinking that he made this expression ke or in a completely sexual way, or both. 
        All over the world celebrities use their "famous status" as a way to help society with issues like this one and representing minorities. The issue of homosexuality is a very popular and important matter in our society. So isn't surprising that this girl wanted to help, in a way. The shocking thing is the useless way of approaching the issue, because let's face it, how many homosexuals can you really help showing a pair of human tissue (besides the obvious sexual admiration)? ZERO. Your boobs aren't gonna change any laws, a homophobic dad will not accept its lesbian daughter and finally, they won't change the fact that the only way to deal with homosexuality is simply stop seeing it as a problem, see it as it is, just human nature.
