Camels’ humps declared to have too much junk, disqualified from beauty pageant

For judges of the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Oman, the answer to the question “Whatcha gonna do with all that junk?” is to disqualify the offending competitors.

Forbes reports that 20 camels were dismissed from the pageant, which are big deals in the Middle East, for alleged unnatural enhancements, including the use of Botox on faces and silicone wax on humps.

“We are keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” organizers say in a statement.

Similar scandals have hit camel pageants in 2018 and 2021.

The Black Eyed Peas have yet to comment.
