"Another strong but contrasting impression was attending a beauty pageant that the street kids in the back alley behind my ex-father-in-law’s house had put together on New Year’s Eve. It struck me as being so different from all the sleaze and the commercialism and the sexism that we, in our western culture, associate with those kinds of pageants."
This is what the guy who had the idea for this ha to say about the project.

Another thing that the guy said:
"There is a huge difference in the cultural perception of beauty pageants, but Miss Landmine can be interpreted in many ways. What surprises me a little bit is that the self-appointed feminist critics, who are deriding the project as sexist, don’t appreciate Miss Landmine as a subversive project that is hollowing out the concept of beauty pageants from within. Among other things, it’s also a very potent comment on exactly the sentiment that beauty pageants are superficial and solely focused on physical looks."

And finding something funny, doesn't mean it isn't serious.
Don't forget that whilst your sensitivities may be barraged, many of the political parties supported by the most offended here actually support the US and Israel and their use of land mines. However, every party I've ever voted on is for a world wide ban of them.
Do not let a harsh interpretation mislead you into thinking that someone doesn't care.
Enjoy your guilt trip.
