As an employee, as far as I can tell, he doesn't work for the company. Oh well, looks like Twitter has decided he does.

I don't think it's Twitter deciding as much as it is him. He is the one with it on his profile. But of course the tweets were mostly phrased as something to look into given he has that posted in his profile.

Oh well.

It's like the end results of Mario Party where the star randomly hovers over people to make you think that they won then fakes you out at the last minute.
 
She would still be the correct term. On a side note, these girls used to be men? They look stunning.

Trans women are generally not allowed to compete in drag beauty pageants, especially if they're already in the process of transitioning.
I'm pretty sure they're most likely effeminate cis gay men like most queens.
They're very pretty though.
 
I knew Phillipines had it in the bag, but Miss Colombia is the daughter of a friend of my mother's (a very close one too) so it's horrible over here.

A top lawyer in the country is already setting up a lawsuit against the pageant. Shits crazy dawg
 
The NYTimes has this incident on their homepage. It's hilarious.

It was a gaffe made for the age of Twitter, GIFs, Vines and 24/7 social media snark. Almost as soon as the mistake was made, it was memed.
My favorite line. Reads like something out of a novel lol.
She was standing center stage, holding a bouquet of flowers with the glittering crown perched atop her head, waving, waving, waving to the audience, when Mr. Harvey sheepishly returned to the stage, his steps slow and heavy
Mr. Harvey did not stick around, swiftly heading for stage right as Miss Philippines took her place beside Miss Colombia, still clutching her flowers and wearing the crown.

Later, Mr. Harvey turned to Twitter to apologize for his mistake in a tweet that misspelled the names of both countries. He later deleted the tweet — but not before it was retweeted more than 30,000 times.

“I want to apologize emphatically to Miss Philippians and Miss Columbia,” he wrote. “This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful.”

Why is it off in the corner like that with tiny font?

Easy.

3. 2nd Runner Up - USA
2. 1st Runner Up - Colombia

This is on both the card designer and Steve Harvey.

But it was an honest mistake. Can't be hatin' that much - just poor girls!
 
Normally I'd feel pretty bad and cringe but it was Steve Harvey so I'm having trouble having any sympathy. I do feel bad for Miss Colombia though. Sheesh. Share the crown or something.
