Why Can’t We All Just Get Along

Miss-Universe.jl.011815Four pretty girls, Miss Universe contestants, in Miami. 

Not a particularly good or flattering picture - just a fairly typical “selfie”but it is creating a storm of controversy this morning.

Saly Griege, Miss Lebanon, is catching Hell back home for posing (and smiling) alongside Doron Matalon, Miss Israel.  Lebanese television station Al Jadeed said in a sarcastic report that since one of Miss Lebanon's hobbies is reading, she should have read that her country and Israel are enemies.

Griege herself is claiming that she was photobombed - “I was having a photo with Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia, suddenly Miss Israel jumped in and took a selfie, and uploaded it on her social media."  The same picture appears on Miss Lebanon’s Instagram page, with Miss Israel cropped out.

My thoughts on the situation:

  • the Miss Universe pageant could probably use the publicity
  • the Media can turn anything into a huge controversy
  • Miss Lebanon is the cutest girl in the picture
  • Who really cares, anyway?
