A Dozen Camels Disqualified From Saudi Beauty Pageant Over Botox Injections

I was torn about where to put this. I really was. I can't stop reading it and thinking it should be in the jokes forum for several reasons.

In Saudi Arabia, camels get botox. Yes, really.

I just don't even ...

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.

Imagine being so desperate to win the camel beauty pagent that you're shooting your camel up with botox and getting her plastic surgery.

I'll bet women in SA can't get this stuff, but the camels ... sure thing, baby!

I guess they can win upward of $57 million, so it's not chump change, but still. Botox? Camels?



This is the standard they're hoping to match with the plastic surgery treatments. Oh, wait, what? You mean that's Joan RIvers? (OK, I don't think she looks like a camel; she's just one of the more plastic looking celebs I can recall.)

The festival provides a number of informative graphics about camels, including a diagram titled Standards of Camel Beauty. It is sadly unspecific about what makes for handsome nostrils and withers, though it does mention a "leathery mouth

I honestly don't want to know what the "leathery mouth" is good for ...

Wow, I don't even know what to say. That is both slightly funny and horrible.

This world is so weird lol.

I know. I still can't believe that's an actual thing, but it's NPR, not The Onion. Right?

I would give my camel a boob job and teach her to twerk if 50m was on the line

12 disqualifications and how many divorces?

These are the people we decided to sell $100 billion in weapons to. What were we thinking?

That they are too dumb to use them and will likely get shot down or crash them and then have to buy more.

Will we here about botox for dogs in the US and Europe next? People do what they have to because winning is everything.

Winning means paying for breeding.

Ummm...after reading the thread title...I was waiting for the punch line...

The real joke is...that it isn’t a joke...



YouSir

We have Alpacas...

Cucumber facials and a little mascara is where we draw the line.

...anything more is just creepy.

If you haven't seen that Buddies movie (the movies based on Air Bud) that shadows Indiana Jones and seen Amy... I get your confusion.

But Amy was one adorable camel. Camels are cute as hell.

Thats...

A total waste of botox.

Man joined the French foreign legion.

Heard a commotion one morning and asked " why everyone was running frantically " ?

He was told "The Camels are here !!"

What was the frenzied running all about ?
he asked.

The soldier looked at him and quickly replied;

" You don't want to get an ugly one !!"

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS A THING. I saw this article two days ago and thought it was obviously a parody. Oops!

You probably wouldn't want to see the International Camel pissing contest then.

What were we thinking?

That they've got money to burn - thanks to people like you that drive and are reliant on oil?
