Can't wait for the outcry...

DOVER, Del. — A new Miss Delaware was crowned Thursday after the one selected earlier this month got the boot — for being too old.

Brittany Lewis, 24, originally the contest's first runner-up as Miss Wilmington, got the sparkly crown Thursday night in a brief ceremony at the Dover Downs Hotel Casino.

With her new title comes scholarship money, a year's contract as Miss Delaware and a September shot at Miss America in Atlantic City — all lost by Amanda Longacre, also 24.

The Miss America Organization website says contestants must be 17 to 24 years old.

Longacre will turn 25 in October.

Numerous calls to officials at the national and state organizations seeking comment were not returned Thursday.

Longacre won the title June 14, but was disqualified because of her age.

"Following the Miss Delaware Pageant, it was determined that Amanda Longacre exceeded the age requirement in order to be eligible to compete therefore, the Miss Delaware 2014 title is awarded to Brittany Lewis," the organization said in a release. "The Miss Delaware Pageant is proud to congratulate Brittany and wishes Amanda the very best on her future endeavors."

Delaware has been an interesting state these last couple of years.

It is funny what people think they can "get away" with. I say it in quotes, because it isn't illegal - just people who have the power to judge making decisions on people.

There's two pieces of differeing information

1) "The Miss America Organization website says contestants must be 17 to 24 years old"

2) "She said they told her the national contest says Miss America can't be older than 24 during her year with the crown."

Which is codified in the rulebook? She was a contestant at 24 and crowned at 24, but does it specifically say she cannot be older than 24 during the whole year?

The article said this...the organization said that...but what does the actual damn rulebook say?

Probably run by a woman, I guess logic will not be involved in decision making.

Honestly this gives both parties a benefit:

1) it gets the miss world organization in the news and considered an organization that takes it rules very seriously, because not too many people who actually live in the real world give a flying fuck about the miss world organization

2) it gives this girl something to bitch and moan about for the rest of her life, plus it will give her more of a 15 min of fame than before if this convtroversy never happened.
