    Yes the cities across the US and the clothing apparel company among other things is spelled Columbia while the South American country is spelled Colombia. But thank you for bringing it to our attention we are all better off for it.

    I'm a huge Steve Harvey fan and he's one of the realest personalites in Hollywood. It will be interesting to hear his take on this.

    And yes world beauty pageants are just as big as ever. They even have smaller knock off awards like the Supranational.

      Yeah, I felt for Steve, and the runner-up, and I'm sure he was feeling bad for the contestants. What a mess, but hopefully the runner-up will be compensated by some lucrative fame before the 15 minutes of fame are up. Life goes on!

        That's my guess too.
        Read my blog at Moongem Comics about comics, toys and more.

            BTW, Miss Colombia does speak English...

            Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez is speaking out after mistakenly being crowned Miss Universe 2015 during the pageant on Sunday night (December 20) in Las Vegas,…

                  I don't think so. When watching the clip, I see guys in suits running through the crowd (and walking directly across a live camera shot) and that seems to indicate that things were going south backstage. But man, what an uncomfortable situation!

                    After seeing that I can see how somebody could mess it up if reading it quickly.

                    Looking at it fast a person could misread the card seeing the MISS UNIVERSE 2015 as the logo written at the bottom right.

                    They should have printed it below the rest of the finalists and used the same font size as the rest.

                      maybe next time they will get someone who actually knows graphic design to print up the Winners card

                      and maybe there won't be any confusion
