Still sad that she had to apologize for this photo. But, I guess understandable if your family is being hunted.

Though to be honest I am shocked that the types of people outraged by this photo are the types that follow foreign beauty pageants anyway.....

But, it goes to show, tribalism is bad in America. But, even at its worst, it is nothing like some parts of the world....


It was probably front page on the newspaper and the headline on the TV news.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I could be wrong (also, I don't follow pageant news or social media stuff so I may be out of touch on this issue), I don't think there was any major news coverage of this until her family was in danger from the fallout of the photo spreading. At least that is when I remember hearing about it.

Edit: In some ways there are parallels to Salman Rushdie (an author who wrote a controversial book in the 1980s), many people were unfamiliar with the book until some religious leader decided that it was offensive to their religion and then everyone heard of the book.
