Unless you’re living under a rock, or aren’t on social media at all, or don’t watch TV at all, you’ve heard about probably one of the biggest and most embarrassing mistakes on live tv that happened last night. If not, well…here…
WHEWWWWW!!!!!
That was awkward. And sad.
I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.

Secondly, I'd like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake.

I don't want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing.

I’m just not sure how one misreads this.
The card is clear. I saw something last night saying the teleprompter said something different or whatever, but I mean….
Sheesh. I don’t know.
Now, there are a few reactions I’d like to address….
First…
And y'all still lost, so… RT @desusnice: stay classy Colombia pic.twitter.com/ECjJzCv03Y

Really? Of course, this isn’t representative of ALL Colombians, but come on. This is doing the most and for your queen who still lost.
Okay, then there was this…

Out of curiosity, I did a search to see who else Gawker called a monster:

Okay. So most of these have monster quoted, and then Gawker used it outright for a man who is cutting off heads.
This is the same category they put Steve Harvey in.
Give me a damn break. He mad a HORRIBLE mistake, but Steve Harvey is no monster. Please.
And finally,
Only solution to Steve Harvey's hideous Miss Universe howler is for both women to share the title. My new column: https://t.co/rAnRwT5rSr

Donald Trump's solution to Miss Universe mistake: ‘do a co-winner’ https://t.co/3Lfw8RYeSc
— TIME.com (@TIME) December 21, 2015
A co-winner?
NOPE.
NAH.
NIL.
NO.
Absofawkinglutely NOT.
Philippines won. Period. She shouldn’t have to share the title. What happened sucks, but Columbia did, in fact, lose. She’ll live.
I need everybody to settle down and take a breath.
This was a horrible mistake, but Steve Harvey broke no laws and the world will go on. He took full responsibility and at this point, there’s nothing else tha can be done.
Relax.
