I am not proud to show this to my friends overseas. The video has a symbolic meaning, though at this point, I think it’s pointless for me to explain every little thing. It’s either you get it or you don’t. the idea that there IS a video doesn't interest me here onwards, and no, i really don't get it, when was the last time anyone used a video to symbolize anything? "portrayal" much? okay im bored and tired. to past winner: lets just hope you get it someday. guerilla marketing my a** http://eyeseefinks.blogspot.com/ ahahhhahaa :* MWAH!

Sadly, this has made the most prestigious pageant a joke. it is a pity that this is the second year the Miss World Malaysia organisers have come up with a campaign that has not been successful and has not been executed well.

Let's just put it this way. If it had been a male-oriented competition, like say Mr Universe and they decide to say power equates controlling a woman and putting her under his thumb, wouldn't you have felt appalled? As much as the next person, I also hate all the political-correctness going around nowadays, but even I fail to see the humour or light side of the video. I think the organizers should have considered sending positive ideas of power and not about dominating. What happened to equality? I think (IMHO)that the organizers are just trying to sell the event. They did it last year with the whole "Kill Beauty" gimmick (which didn't work at all). Now, if only the organizers would admit to them using shock tactics to make more people pay attention to the event. And also, even if some people found the video palatable and "entertaining", I still think it sends the wrong message about beauty.... But that's just my two cents worth which is worth, well, two cents.... I think the issue is very simple and straight forward. Let’s just put it this way.

I’m not the one getting defensive here." Classic! =) And speaking about the "implications of pure power if not used properly", Ms. Past Winner, using a website associated with the Miss World brand to so carelessly send out a message that can so easily be misconstrued (and this is assuming that we are misconstruing the message as you suggested) as demeaning to such a large portion of the public, is as example of power not used properly. “Me, bruised ego? I’m not the one getting defensive here.”
