VIDEO: Miss USA Falls Down, Goes Boom During Miss Universe Pageant

The USA might blow everyone away in the medal count at the Summer Olympics—104 in 2004, with Russia taking 92 and China, 63—but when it comes to international beauty competitions, the red, white, and blue has been slipping. Literally.

Last year, Miss USA slipped and fell during the evening gown competition of the Miss Universe Pageant (and Mexico laughed at us. ‘Nuff said.).

This year we had an encore presentation to add to the Viral Video Historical Archive. Watch (37s) as Miss USA maintains composure after the spill yet has the distinct look of wanting to bitch-slap someone—the floor-waxer, perhaps?—when her back is to the audience.

Somewhere, an ambitious entrepreneur is starting a company that would teach young Miss USA hopefuls how to walk in high heels while wearing an evening gown. And well they should. We can’t have this tomfoolery year after year. For the love of all that is sacred in women’s footwear fashion, make the tumbles stop!
