Beauty Queen: Did I Say World Peace?

Posted Dec 28th 2008 10:19AM by TMZ Staff

It's an age-old question. Why do all the hot chicks prefer ruthless drug lords over nice guys who pay taxes?

Latina babe Laura Zuniga was just stripped of her "Queen of Hispanic America" title after getting popped at a Mexican checkpoint with her boyfriend, his posse and trucks filled with weapons and cash.

Included in the bust: AR-15 assault rifles, 38 specials, 9mm handguns, nine magazines, 633 cartridges and $53,300 in U.S. currency.

Zuniga is being held for 40 days while investigators consider charges.

17. Probably thinks she'll get off with that blond molesting teacher's defense of "I'm too pretty to go to prison"

18. This doesn't look like the same girl who won the beauty contest. Funny how a sullen mugshot will do that.

20. YOUNG GIRLS ALWAYS THINK LIVING ON THE ROUGH SIDE WITH NO GOOD MEN IS FUN. THIS GIRL HAS ENDED HER CAREER OVER SOME DUDE THAT WILL DUMP HER IN A FEW MONTHS. NICE STORY TO TELL THE FUTURE GRANDKIDS.

CAUTION: BAD BOYS DO NOT WANT TO BE SAVED BY THE BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS, STOP WATCHING DISNEY MOVIES, THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

22. So this is what is representative of a role model for Hispanic Women across the Americas? Good Grief, she's as bad a role model as the Prison Culture heroes and prison culture fashion so embraced by today's Black Youth. No wonder these factions of humanity are struggling so badly to keep pace with other Nationalities. You have your eyes on the wrong kinds of heroes and role models.

She is in a bad situation right now. Her family and relatives could find their heads being cut off if she doesnt play her part correctly while in custody with the Federales. The bunch she has chosen to run with are not afraid to behead the Police, so imagine what they'll do to her relatives. Nice choices Senorita.

25. By the way, an ar-15 is not an assault rifle. An m-16 is an assault rifle. An ar-15 is like anyother semi-auto rifle except for the fact that it looks "bad" You know how dangerous a black plastic stock can be.

26. Girls, girls, girls.......................................... NO MAN is EVER worth throwing your beauty, youth, health and life AWAY FOR..........EVER! Why are so many of you young girls today hanging out with guys who are the sterotypical "BAD BOY"?????? You're either very stupid or very naive! Trust me, they are never worth it. Their lack of morals and lack of common sense will destroy any love you have for them and you'll be left with nothing to show for your loaylty or love. Stick with the "nice guys" who make a modest living, love you for yourself, and will treat your children with care! Nothing sexier than a man who is a gentlemen and man of honor! And I bet there are plenty of young guys like that today,they are just being overshadowed by the PUNK THUGS, GANGSTER RAPPERS, SOPRANO-ESQUE WANNABE LOSERS! Ladies, get it together - dump the "bad boy" fantasy and wake up!

27. She's pretty much a dead woman either way you look at it. If any of those guys gets one inkling she won't keep what she knows to herself they will arrange someone to kill her ahead of the trial because now instead of a lovedoll, she's now a liability. And you are right, there isn't one policeman who can protect her from being killed, they will plow right through whoever to make sure she never talks to anyone. And the person who said they will make heads roll on her family, that's a very good possibility too, the threat of that would probably terrorize her into keeping silent, but the closer it comes time to be interrogated, you can bet there will be someone assigned to take her out. Just being associated with these kind of drug gangs can have you ending up in her predicament way too easy.

30. She's going where the money is. Sad to say, with the economy the way it is, we'll not be too surprised when others are caught this way.
