I actually thought the beauty contest was funny, because the writers make no attempt to give Ringabel and Yulyanna any dignity at all while they perv out over bikinis. They're very clearly the butt of the joke, even if they don't realize it. ("Every woman to put it on has instantly and irrevocably hated me!")

Also, I give the game kudos for not actually making Agnes wear that thing. Putting it on just wouldn't be in-character for her.

Those were the two main saving graces for that storyline: that the skeevy men were clearly labelled as such by the other characters, and Agnes stayed in character and decided not to wear the revealing dress.

Still, I did feel like the writers were having their cake and eating it. There was the morality lesson at the end, while the writers still got to put in all the creepy references.

It was funny, but only in parts. It would have been a lot less creepy if the humour had been more consistently good.
