‘Most Beautiful Goat’ Competition Underway in Saudi Arabia

I bet these are some seriously jumpy animals:

Riyadh, Dec 29 (DPA) A beauty competition for goats began Wednesday in Saudi Arabia, as part of an auction bringing together traders and herders in the holy Muslim city of Mecca.

Auction supervisor Fawzi al-Subhi said that over 170 animals are competing for the coveted title ‘most beautiful goat’. He expects the winner to be sold for at least $18,000.

Only in the Middle East do they put bikinis on goats and camels but cover their women in boat tarps.

Who’s the goat to bleat in this year’s competition? We’ll find out soon. Probably the most pressure is when the judges ask the goats their opinion on gay marriage, because the wrong answer can earn said goat an “Abu Dhabi necktie.”

    "but cover their women in boat tarps" lol, is that what those garments are called?

    Where's the PETA outrage on 'this' one? Oh well, as long as the prize money is 'donated' to the Burlington Terrorist Factory it's all good.

    I vote for Helen Thomas if it's strictly a beauty contest.

    I would agree up to the point of age – surely they prefer the younger goats ! And they can call them Shirley all day long ! :-)

    According to my World Book Encyclopedia, yes, "Burqa" is Aramaic for "boat tarp."

    "Boat tarps" indeed, and speaking of which, did you see the vid. of the muslim woman who was allowed to drive a car ? She leaves her house in Full coverage, only a slit for vision and then opens her garage door, (it`s too dark to see the car inside) and walks in. Out she comes in a Prius size car, also in Full tarp except for a tiny slit for vision (only one in front, none on the sides or rear) and drives right out into the street being narrowly missed by two cars on the road ! Waaaay to funny !

    The blue and orange logo in the background of the picture looks like the North end of a South-bound goat. Is THAT the beauty part of the contest?? (That is SO Wrong!)

    Is the winner (not the human) in the picture named 'Casbah' that's about to be rocked?

    Wasn`t it though ? Proof that at least "some" women can`t drive or shouldn`t !

    Oh well, I can`t make it work either ! Bummer !

    Search youtube for "muslim women allowed to drive in France" and you`ll find it !

    This auction is for hearders and traders……the winning goat should bring $18,000.00.

    Wow, goat herding and trading must be some kinda lucrative in Saudi Arabia !

    Is that "filthy lucer" ?

    'I bet these are some seriously jumpy animals:' Not to worry; each goat has a carefully administered dose of Rohypnol before the show.

    Good to know ! I`d hate to think these objects of amore would suffer any bad post-auction memories !
