Huge riots happening in Nigeria, the host country for this year's Miss World pageant. As of right now, more than 50 people - conservatively - have been stabbed, bludgeoned, or burnt to death.

Apparently local Muslim groups are pissed because the competition celebrates a bunch of near nekkid ladies.

The riots were touched off when some dumbass journalist penned:

The Muslims thought it was immoral to bring 92 women to Nigeria and ask them to revel in vanity. What would Mohammed think? In all honesty he would probably have chosen a wife from among them.

Ouch.

Unfortunately, no information was available on what type of car Muhammad would drive on his way to the contest. Additionally, no information was available as to the ability of the contestant from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to find her home country on a map.

On a somewhat related note, I almost started a riot myself after seeing how much tickets for tonight's Jack Johnson show at First Avenue were being scalped for. I was ready to pay over face to get in, but $200?!? Ahhh, no.
