Brazil is gearing up for its "Miss Bumbum" pageant, a nationwide contest to find the best butt in the country. The nation's favorite posterior will be chosen from 27 competitors, one representing each of Brazil's states. After much scrutiny, all those interested in this important endeavor can then vote online for what they think is the best 'bumbum,' the most common word for butt in Brazil. The 15 finalists will travel to Sao Paulo in November for the grand finale.
