Brazil's Most Popular Miss BumBum Pageant Brought Traffic To Standstill (At Viewer's Discretion)

I don't understand the point of this pageant, anyway view at your discretion. The raunchy race marked the start of the seventh year of the competition, in which the women, each representing a Brazilian state, are whittled down to 15 who then battle it out in a live final.

The 27 women competing to win the title of best bottom in Brazil got into the Olympic spirit yesterday by running in their own 100-metre sprint - in nothing but skimpy bikinis.

Hopefuls in the annual Miss Bumbum contest, Brazil's most popular beauty pageant, brought traffic to a standstill as they ran down the famous Avenida Paulista, the main street of the country's biggest city Sao Paulo.
