CHICAGO\u2014 Visionary Mark Knockoff has recently invented the newest, hottest form of beauty pageants: Cardboard Pageants. Rather than following the traditional route of having conventionally attractive men and women show off their bodies, Cardboard Pageants primarily focus on their diverse design skills to create a cardboard cutout of what they consider \u201cbeautiful\u201d means, whether it be a realistic depiction of a person, or a weird little shape with a whole lot of eyes. The new pageant is designed to challenge traditional notions of beauty, like the norm around not being made of cardboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Knockoff, this moves beauty pageants away from lowering self-esteem of their losing participants and from continuously establishing \u201cbeauty\u201d on physical forms; according to an anonymous survey of 5 beauty pageant participants, losing in the first round had significantly lowered their confidence. This would never happen in the Cardboard Pageant, as the cutouts would be rolled out on self-routing robots and the participants would not have to appear on-stage unless it is to receive their prize.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The changes would not affect beauty pageants\u2019 traditional goal of spreading love, beauty, and confidence to those around them. The Cardboard Pageant\u2019s rules state that a contestant\u2019s cutout could receive three extra points if they add a red Valentine\u2019s heart onto it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, in order to preserve beauty pageants\u2019 traditional Q&A portion, the contestants must program the cutout\u2019s ability to draw a card, as well as listen and respond to the question on the card through Artificial Intelligence. Sample questions include, \u201cWhat is consciousness?,\u201d \u201cWhat is the meaning of life?,\u201d and \u201cWould you kill a real human person if asked to?\u201d This will ensure that the contestants are very familiar with technology and that this competition will not only focus on beauty, but also on brains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cardboard Pageant will truly progress our society. Knockoff and his team are very hopeful for the future of pageants. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
