Twelve camels have been disqualified from Saudi Arabia’s annual camel beauty contest after receiving botulinum toxin injections to make their
pouts look more alluring.
Saudi authorities have raised the profile of the King Abdulaziz camel
festival by relocating it from the desert to the outskirts of the
capital, Riyadh.
This year’s event has been been mired in scandal after the lure of
20m Saudi riyals (£3.7m) in prize money for each category tempted some
owners to cheat.
And you thought Lance Armstrong, the Kardashian seraglio and other selfies-in-action had a lock on chemical improvements.
I never thought I'd see camel and alluring in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteI’d rather see “Trump tells the truth.” in the same sentence.
