Landmine Victim Beauty Contest
Man, this is messed up. Unfortunately it's in German, but I will summarize briefly: apparently someone in Angola is hosting a beauty contest for landmine victims who lost a limb. The first price is a new limb. Maybe I am gullible and someone made this up, but it feels wrong, very wrong. Maybe educational? Maybe a way to make women who lost a limb feel beautiful? I don't know. I think it's a bit sick.

dude, i don't think it's a joke. i read about this last fall here. there are a few thoughtful comments there. so long as that norwegian artist isn't making a huge profit at the expense of those girls, then it seems to be a great concept.
I think this ”Miss Landmine” contest is a great initiative as it shows that victims of landmines are mostly innocent just like these beautiful women…
