Mexico: Sorry for booing Miss USA
Mexican tourism officials formally apologized for the Mexico City audience’s booing of Miss USA during the Miss Universe pageant. Said the chief of staff for Mexico's tourism department:
“‘We understand the concern of the people of the United States about the incorrect behavior of a small group that attended the event,’ (Gabriel) Szekely wrote. ‘We apologize for the inconvenience and be sure that Miss Rachel Smith will always be welcome in Mexico.’”
Miss USA Rachel Smith took a tumble during the evening gown portion of the pageant, and was subsequently jeered while answering to a question from one of the judges (video link):
