a brief monograph on miss universe

Last night the Miss Universe pageant crowned Miss Columbia Ariadne Gutierrez as the new Miss Universe.

Then the presenter, a capable fellow called Steve Harvey, announced he'd made a mistake.

The crown was taken off Ariadne Gutierrez.

The crown was then placed on Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

I suggest that the mistaken announcement was staged deliberately by the contest organisers in order to generate public interest in the Miss Universe pageant.

It is a standard tactic now at large scale televised events to stage some sort of controversy in order to attract attention.
I do not believe either of the two contestants was in on the scam.

The correct thing to do now in any case, is to award two titles, that is to make both Ariadne Gutierrez and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach joint holders of the Miss Universe crown for the year.
