Brazil is gearing up for the “Miss Bum Bum” pageant, a nationwide contest to find the best butt in the country.

The nation’s cutest derriere will be chosen out of 27 competitors, one from each of Brazil’s Federative Units. Online voting will determine 15 finalists, who will travel to São Paolo in November for the “grand finale.”

“[Brazilians] definitely have a thing with butts,” said Brazilian Graciela Murano, writer and editor for Oddee, noting that “bumbum” is the word most commonly used in Brazil to refer to someone’s rear end.

UGH, JUST UGH!.
