Why The Last Three Miss Universes Had Plastic Surgery

We did some investigative websurfing this morning and made an interesting little discovery. The last three Miss Universe winners have all had plastic surgery. Meanwhile, a page on the Miss Universe website entitled "Perception Vs. Reality" says:

Reality: The majority of our contestants have not surgically altered themselves. In fact, at the international level many countries, including Sweden, France and Israel, have banned plastic surgery from their events completely. We do not encourage or endorse any kind of unnecessary surgery. As a matter of fact, there are no height, weight or measurement restrictions for any of our competitions. However, we must also respect our contestants' individual rights to choose for themselves what makes them feel most confident and comfortable.

So while they don't officially endorse it, they manage to reward it every year with the crown. Seems like someone is floating down a little stream we like to call denial. After the jump, a side by side comparison of the three offenders. Miss Universes 2008, 2007 and 2006. Miss Universe 2008 Dayanara Mendoza of Venezuela Obviously had a nose job which is sad because her natural nose is so much cuter. Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori of Japan Admits to having "a little lip work" done and is accused of having eyelid surgery to round out her eyes. Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico Looks like Michael Jackson we are sad to say.
