8/11/2004: Miss Cicciona and Mr Ciccione

Congratulations to the woman on the right, there, Giovanna Guidoni, who has won this year's Miss Cicciona contest. And the gent on the left, Fabio Teseo, who has won Mr Ciccione.

It's a beauty contest in Italy, featuring only women over 220 pounds (100 kilos) and men over 330 pounds (150 kilos).

I'm in favor of this sort of thing, partly because I know this is one area where the US can excel. I know I could find better candidates than these at any American mall. But also, we are so arbitrary about beauty, so confused about weight. Let's play with the equation so we can figure out where our priorities really are.
