UNIVERSAL INSULT

Dear Miss Universe org.

Throughout the years, I have been a fan of your show and of your organization. I thank you for the many great opportunities you have afforded the delegates of countries from around the world to come together and celebrate each culture and embrace world peace. Furthermore, I am grateful for all your organization has done to promote HIV and cancer awareness and the many charitable causes you stand for.

I am growing increasingly concerned that the recent and ongoing decline of the credibility of your winners will limit and degrade the quality of your show. The most recent winner Miss Venezuela STEFANIA FERNADEZ is proof enough.

It is hard to believe that the least qualified to represent your organization wins the crown when in fact her performance in the live telecast fell short of being the most convincing and deserving. If you visit any blog, message board or internet site that specializes in pageants you will be astonished at what you will read from experts in the field. We are in total disagreement with the most recent election and consider it unfair, unjust and biased.

We will not speculate what we feel would be "special interest" in business dealings with your organization and the Miss Venezuela org. However, many of us that were in the live telecast in the Bahamas were not fooled by the botched results, the failed computer system and the inept attempt by your accounting firm to manually ad the scores, thus, a failed and inexplicable outcome.

With all due respect, we the fans and consumers that support the sponsors that pay for such debacle say "enough is enough" and unless we see a transparent and just win in the future will not only stop watching your show, we will boycott any products advertised during the transmission of your telecast.

We ask that your organization show "good faith" to our petition and provide a reasonable explanation on how your accounting methods proved Miss Venezuela to be the winner in this recent election.

Respectfully,
Fans from around the Universe no more
