AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

Not money, again.

Trading dignity for money is always a little questionable and risky (and look,
having to write code you're not proud of is not so bad as having your privacy
published).  Besides, what good is this publicity: she's got a dirtied image
now (and by historical precedent, this immediately disqualifies her from
advertising Ivory soap), and has lost all the advertising arrangements that
follow the crown.

This incident will not really aid her in publicity, it will fade from public
view, just as we quickly forget who won after the Miss America contest.

To *think* that the _Omni_ of girlie magazines would actively work to degrade a
person so ...	    :-)
