“How the f*** is this still happening?”
On Sunday night's episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver called out the Miss America beauty pageant for its regressiveness and its inaccurate claim of providing millions of dollars in scholarships for women.
"And just a reminder to those of you at home; it is the year 2014 and I am a fully clothed man standing in front of a line of women in swimsuits awaiting judgement."
He raised an important question: "How the f*** is this still happening?"
Oliver compared the irrelevance of the current pageant to a time when contestants were judged according to the construction of their heads and torsos.
