Thoughts on the World Cheerleading Championship

My boyfriend and I were flipping through the channels this morning. It's always difficult to find something to watch on Sundays. Have you noticed that? Anyways, we had to settle for the World Cheerleading Championships at Walt Disney World. And after watching it for half an hour, I have some serious questions about the sport of cheerleading:
  1. Why does the background music always consist of one line of fifty different songs, instead of longer parts of only 5 songs? The songs change so fast, you almost can't tell what song every single line pertains to.
  2. Why do the girls wear skirts over their granny panties? The skirts always flip up and then the girls spend half their performance rolling them back down. They could just wear the bottoms without the skirt and really no one would notice the difference.
  3. Do they get points for smiling? Because it seems like every time they lift their heads, every cheerleader has to have this really surprised look on their face. Why else would they be doing it if not to acquire points?
  4. If #3 is true, why does a smile get you point-wise? I mean, compared to the tosses and flips and pyramids and crap, how many points does every single smile get? And can you get deductions for forgetting to smile? Seems so unnatural.
  5. And finally, why does Walt Disney World support this? My boyfriend says it's because South Park was right: Disney sells sex to little giiirls.
I turned off the World Championship of Cheerleading because it confuses and depresses me.
