Contests of all shapes and sizes

Hong Kong, the world's home of the beauty contest, is finally covering the vital at least 4 months pregnant beauty segment. With Mrs M's due date today, we don't have much time. Luckily no song and dance routine is required and instead the judging was based on how well they could take care of their newborn, from bathing, burping, feet massaging to feeding.

This from the same city where a "cricket match" consists of insects fighting each other. In a sign of tough love, over one hundred men were arrested at the Far East Friends of Crickets Association in Mongkok. The cricket fighting is not illegal. What is illegal is the gambling on the result. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

First, I really thought this was a joke until I clicked on the link. Now, I'm just sorry that there were no pictures of the winner as I am totally curious.
