Indonesia Axes Bikinis For 2013 Miss World Pageant

AKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Miss World has axed the famed bikinis from this year's pageant in Indonesia, replacing the skimpy swimsuits with conservative beach sarongs amid mounting protests from hard-line Muslim groups, organizers said Thursday.

All of the more than 130 contestants will be required to wear Bali's traditional long sarongs instead of the sexy bikinis that are historically part of the competition, said Adjie S. Soeratmadjie of the RCTI, the official broadcaster and local organizer.

Parts of the pageant will take place on the resort island of Bali and the final round will be held Sept. 28 near the capital, Jakarta. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country.

  1. Who really cares. This should not even be news. Just another MSM blitz to take away of the Obama problems. We can all work toward the problem at hand and don't support the advertisers of this promotion. I just don't buy Cheerios anymore. Done deal!

  3. **** the muslims I am so sick of them and there faith and the way they burn our great flag and the hate they feel for America. And a president that basically supports them. If it was possible I would have everyone of them out of this country and sent back over seas. We are Americans and will not be defeated.

  7. The pageant should just move the venue if it's really that much of an issue.
