Beauty Queen: Did I Say World Peace?

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.

46. Bad boys are the bomb and the sexx is always fantastic.
I'd rather have a few years with a bad boy than a lifetime of nothing special.

47. She is one of the very few Mexicans that are not huge by the time they are 17. That alone had qualified her as a beauty queen in her home country. For all you innocent until proven guilty, bleeding heart types, wake up. It's MEXICO! Does she really look like she is going to stand up to even the slightest threat of cutting her fingernails? One guy was spot on when he said she was done. She gets out of jail - she talked. She stays in jail she is a constant threat. She is DEAD.

50. #49, this place is full of "businessmen" that are so busy building hotels, yet still stop into the TMZ message board to talk about their personal success...... how do you find the time? Just to let you in on a secret, this is a GREAT place to pick up chicks. Really.

I may not be a hotel builder, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

How does one go about writing a whole soliloquy with no punctuation whatsoever?

54. What a waste! Women, wake up! "Bad boys" DON'T want you! They only want you for two things! Sex and status! They only keep you around because it makes them look good! They don't care about you. To them, changing women is as simple as changing underwear. In their eyes, you can be replaced as easily as changing cars.

Sorry about ranting, I just wish women like this would wake up out of the B.B. fantasy. Unless that "B.B." is just a fronter and actually has some decency to begin with, they are not going to change! The majority of these kind of story do not ever end well.

56. when mexican officers asked where she was going, her answer was:
"shopping to colombia and bolivia" I wonder what she was shopping
for, dealers? its a shame.

57. #25 - I agree with you. This girl made a BAD mistake when she got involved with the capo of this cartel. But the worse
is yet to come because she will be interrogated and if she speaks about the cartel she will most likely be killed. She must
be mortified along with her parents. When I heard about this in the news I was afraid for this girl. The Los Angeles Times
newspaper has run a series on Mexico's drug war and its pretty scary stuff. When I was a child my parents would take
me and my brothers and sisters to Tijuana to buy chorros, eat Mexican food, visit friends, etc. and we would have a
wonderful time. Then, Tijuana was then a sleepy, friendly town. Today, its a different story. God help those people that
live in fear in Mexico and any other place in the world. In the U.S. we take a lot of granted.

58. WTF? Half of the women on here either wish they had a bad boy, or are mixed up with bad boys. And bad boys aren't always thugs and/or rappers! They can sometimes be low life bikers, or low life rockers! Just the act of explicitly expressing racism can be considered a bad boy act! How many of your guys have exerted that ability?

Being a bad boy means that they don't follow the same rules as everyone else. There are white collar bad boys! I've worked with a few, who in their own way didn't follow rules, and have the same mentality of gangsters & predators. And women who pick them are lying to themselves if they think that they aren't bad boys. Thats part of the allure and part ofthe problem...

59. Amen to that. Bad boys don't have to be thugs or rappers or even athletes. They can be bikers, rednecks or even guys who work in the white collar sector. They can also be rich dudes who think they can buy and sell women like they are property! Don't believe me, you need look no further than Wall Street or even Washington D.C. to find real Bad Boys! Just because you have money and a nice suit doesn't make you any less of a B.B. They all have the same qualities. They are rude, have no respect for the rules or for women and think they are unbeatable!
