Miss NJ Controversy Somehow Boring

Ahh, let’s keep updated on the ongoing Miss New Jersey Risque Pics Scandal™, the thing we’re paying attention to because it’s summer and it’s not like there’s a war going on and it’s too hot to think about real things. To recap: The current Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, said last week someone had attempted to blackmail her with photos from Facebook. She wouldn’t step down as Miss NJ, because, uh, hello, it’s New Jersey.

Now Polumbo has received a second set of pictures from the blackmailer. She said she wouldn’t step down; the pageant officials and/or authorities now have the photos.

Meanwhile, suspicion has been cast on the runner-up of the Miss NJ pageant as being the one who sent the photos. She denies it, which is kind of lame; if she were the person actually blackmailing Polumbo, it would immediately re-invigorate the, uh, sport of beauty pageants, which haven’t been watched by any human being in America since 1988, except for the Little Miss Sunshine one.
