John Oliver on his Sunday show highlighted the Miss America Pageant. The pageant makes a big deal out of its available $45 million for scholarships. Turns out that less than $500,000 was actually given in 2012. To arrive at the higher number, pageant officials take every available scholarship in every state and multiply by every contestant…. creative accounting.
