I just had to laugh when I saw this story.

The winner of the recent Miss Universe Thailand competition has resigned her title after a press row over her statement that certain political activists "should be executed".

At least it makes a refreshing change from the usual statements by contestants during beauty competitions that they believe in, or will work for, world peace.

I suppose we shouldn't take her opinions too seriously, as, apparently, she is "too fat". If we have learned anything from Hollywood, it is that only really beautiful people have opinions that we should listened to.
