WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO !!
A Dozen Camels Disqualified From Saudi Beauty Pageant Over Botox Injections
Some pageant contestants hit a hump in the road this week. That is, a camel beauty contest in Saudi Arabia disqualified a dozen camels for receiving Botox injections to make them more attractive.
Saudi media reported that a veterinarian was caught performing plastic surgery on the camels a few days before the pageant, according to UAE's The National. In addition to the injections, the clinic was surgically reducing the size of the animals' ears to make them appear more delicate.
"They use Botox for the lips, the nose, the upper lips, the lower lips and even the jaw," Ali Al Mazrouei, a regular at such festivals and the son of a prominent Emirati breeder, told the newspaper. "It makes the head more inflated so when the camel comes it's like, 'Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips, a big nose.' "

Yes I know this is Mayberry material, but I thought it would be nice to have a lighthearted humorous thread in the warroom from time to time, if only for a short time, so that warroom regulars who don't visit the Berry see it.
