Beauty Pageant Controversy

Just read this news on the Web today. Christina Silva, who was crowned the winner of Miss California 2008, has sued the Miss Universe Organization for negligence among other complaints. Apparently, Silva wasn't the real winner. It turned out that a half-Filipino lass, 21-year-old Racquel Beezley, garnered enough points to win the crown. The report say there was a miscount. The organization told Silva to inform Beezley about it.

Now, is the suit justified? In my opinion it is. It is humiliating. I thought these big beauty pageants hire qualified personnel to do the math. It is a sad fact. It is like being given a pair of panties for a gift and then the give says to take it off because apparently it wasn't for you. Would you take it off and give it back?
The pageant will aired live today at NBC, 9 p.m. Host city is Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be held in Planet Hollywood Hotel.
