Move Over Beauty Queens, Italy Seeks Miss Digital

MILAN (Reuters) - The movie star Sophia Loren may have been the icon of 20th-century Italian beauty but times have changed and now she's being challenged for her crown by virtual divas in the first "Miss Digital World" competition.

A new beauty contest kicking off in Italy next week will give pixel-perfect pin-ups the chance to steal sultry Sophia's sex-symbol status.

"Miss Digital World" is the first beauty contest reserved for the likes of videogame heroine Lara Croft, computer-cloned actresses from the "Matrix" films and new beauties tweaked to perfection with 3D graphics.

Digital artists, advertising agencies and videogame programmers from around the world have been asked to send a computer design of their perfect woman to www.missdigitalworld.com, complete with date of birth and body measurements.

"Every age has its ideal of beauty, and every age produces its visual incarnation of that ideal from the Venus de Milo in ancient Greece to Marilyn Monroe in the 1960s," Franz Cerami, the creator of the competition, said.

"Miss Digital World is the search for a contemporary ideal of beauty, seen through virtual reality," he told Reuters.

Designers will program their contestants to parade along a virtual catwalk, and there'll be a virtual presenter and virtual guests who will help create the atmosphere of a beauty contest.

The winner will be crowned at a flesh-and-blood conference in November 2004 and Cerami hopes the digital queen will go on to greater things with roles in videogames, virtual reality films and adverts.

But beware those who think beauty need only be screen-deep. The virtual world has its ethical rules too.

"They should not have taken part -- not even as extras or cameos -- in pornographic films, shows or plays nor have made statements...in any way out of tune with the moral spirit of the competition," organizers said.

Saw this fly by a Spider's eyes...I remember posting this up and thinking...what a great topic. Thought to bring it back from the dead and see what the newbies thought of it. Hope all y'all don't mind the clock :)

Here's a scenario that just crossed my mind:
A police force, the FBI, or some other law enforcement entity makes some fake kiddie porn, posts it on the internet, perhaps even presenting it as real kiddie porn, then uses some sort of sting operation to see who downloads it. Then, said agency uses that as probable cause and searches people's computers.

Invasion of privacy? Efficient sting operation? Something else I haven't mentioned?

They haven't only been doing that, they've also set up fake online personalities to try to lure paedophiles in various chatrooms (that allow children in them).
They would usually disguise themselves as 13 year olds and wait for the bastard to suggest or say something sexually explicit and then bobs your uncle.

Frankly...it may be the only way to cath these leaches on society. I've heard of people DLing kiddie porn and zipping a few of them, along with a .bat file and a nice virus to go along with it, and then reloading it onto the server...just fishing for perverts to open it up onto their computers. :)

And then these people are guilty of posession of kiddie porn AND malicious damage of personal property by use of a computer virus (which I think is a potential terrorist offense now if comited in the states). Vigilantism is often just as dangerous as the reasons for its use.
