Because sex sells.

So ya, Miss Megan Young won the title of Miss World because of her great advantage since she'd been an actress and a host in the Philippines for quite some time now, last September 30, 2012 in Bali Indonesia despite the efforts of some Muslim groups to put a halt to this whole thing and disrupt the competition. They've been protesting for weeks but Indonesian authorities said no demonstration or rallies occurred at the time of the pageant. So, nice try Muslims. But I do commend the people from the conservative Muslim groups for not resulting to violence as means to get meager attention like they always do. But anyway, that was a digression. I'm actually here to give my two cents about beauty pageants and how the Filipino culture perceives these types of Most-Physically-Preferred-And-Therefore-Most-Likely-to-Pass-on-their-Genes-According-to-Evolution contests.
