mass riots apparently in nigeria over the Miss World competition.
Shame its led by (probably completely bigotted) Muslim groups rather than feministy ones, but hey! Better than letting the whole thing just go ahead.
Apparently:
"The riot started after the paper published an article on Saturday which said that the Prophet Mohammed would have married one of the beauty queens. "
height of fucking tact or what!
