Today in idiotic nonsense, some dummies are telling a beauty pageant contestant that she’s too fat. Here we go again!

The Iceland Monitor reports that Arna Ýr Jónsdóttir, Miss Iceland 2015, was told by the owner of the Miss Grand International beauty contest that she needs to lose weight by Tuesday’s finale.

Arna Ýr says she was told to, “Stop eating breakfast, eat just salad for lunch and drink water every evening until the contest,” by spokespeople for the founder and owner of the Miss Grand International beauty contest, Thai TV presenter Nawat Itsaragrisil.

The pageant, which I’ve never heard of but is apparently legit and happens in Las Vegas in a few days, told her that Itsaragrisil wanted to give her the "advice" to lose the non-existent chub because he likes her and wants her to do well. So sweet!

“If the owner of the contest really wants me to lose weight and doesn’t like me the way I am, then he doesn’t deserve to have me in the Top 10,” a visibly upset Arna Ýr told The Iceland Monitor.

“Yes, my shoulders are a bit broader than the other girls’ but that is because I was a member of the Icelandic national athletics team and I am proud of that.”

“Of course, I don’t take these comments to heart, but to do my best then hear this… Personally, I think I’m fine as I am.”

Yes! Love this woman!

Also, get this, you guys. According to the Miss Grand International contest says the, “the advocacy and mission of Miss Grand International beauty pageant are committed to spread the message of happiness and we will take a stand and say ‘Stop the War and Violence’.”

LOL! Good one, website! Hot tip: You want to spread the message of happiness, maybe stop being shitty to women about dumb stuff like weight? And also, good luck with the whole "stopping war and violence via the objectification of women" thing!

Update 10/23/16, 5:11pm EST: Miss Iceland decided to drop out of the contest.

“If the owner of the contest really wants me to lose weight and doesn’t like me the way I am, then he doesn’t deserve to have me in the top 10,” Arna Ýr said. Truer words...
