I don’t get this at all.
Here we see pageant organizer Morten Traavik helping winner Dos Sopheap with her prize (a titanium leg to replace the one blown to smithereens), which she decided was too uncomfortable to actually utilize. Her fame, however, brought her college sponsorship. Norwegian filmmaker Traavik claimed the pageants “challenge the conventional concepts of beauty” and allow these women opportunities to feel pride as well as earn income. I suppose it’s a not-so-classic case of making lemonade from lemons, but it’s a hard issue to address.
I am with you. Very odd pageant indeed. I suppose if it helps the individual women and makes their lives a bit easier it is a good thing. I still can not imagine how something so horrific and be seen as commonplace.

Absolutely. And to think there are that many people to enter a pageant is terrible as well.
