"Do I make you horny???"

There are things about other cultures we will never understand. Some say it’s ethnocentric to say such things, but when it boils down to it, some people do some weird things… especially in the Middle East.

That point has never been more prominent than it is when it comes to Camel Beauty Contests. I find any society strange that places women in concealing clothing while looking at camels and discussing what a succulent hump it has.

The fucked up wonderful part is the scoring system in the article, which offers points for all parts of the camel’s body. Am I the only one that finds this odd? Because let’s be frank here… camels are gross. All forms. Camel cigarettes are dirty. Hell, EVEN cameltoe is sorta gross! Now, I will agree that camels are a great mode of transportation in the desert heat and probably even better in a stew, but I just don’t see the beauty in a camel.

Now, like dog shows here in the United States, the camels with the best looks are in position to make a good deal of money. My question is this- what happens to the losers? If there is one thing about the Middle East that I’ve learned so far… it is that they really don’t like to be considered a loser. I’m sure that was a part of the article that was left out.

I’m sure they do try to breed a better camel, but they sell off the loser or kill it for other profitable reasons… like birth control or deodorant or something stupid like that which no one there uses.

Imagine being the wife of the man who is upset his camel lost a beauty contest. Would you feel like less of a woman knowing he cares more about how his camel looks than you?
