So, everybody's heard of the MISS UNIVERSEŽ pageant, right? That pageant owned by The Donald. Held in Puerto Rico sometime during May sweeps, and we, the viewing public, get to watch it for free. So anyway, I was wandering around their site (Flash impeded ... er, I mean, enhanced -- oh, all right; it's not actually at all bad; it's just totally unnecessary), and discovered that people attending the contest in person have to pay. Which isn't a surprise, really; it looks like the sort of even that you'd pay for.
That said ... the ticket prices themselves! Good GRIEF!
The Donald, he has the chutzpah, no?
