Some Colombians apparently haven't moved on with the defeat and humiliation of their candidate in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant. They were seen burning the life-sized dummy of Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach during their New Year's Eve celebration.
Noider Almanza Barraza, a Colombian Facebook user, shared this video on December 31. They also took a photo of Pia Wurtzbach and host Steve Harvey before burning it as they celebrate the New Year.
It took place in San Felipe, Baranquilla, Colombia. It was also reported that this is a Colombian tradition known as Burn Año Nuevo. They believe that this is to drive away bad luck caused by Gutierrez's loss.
Though it is a tradition, netizens claim that they can't help but feel dismayed with this act. Some try to understand the tradition, while others are really offended by the video.
It can be remembered that Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach won the crown last December 21 in a controversial way. Host Steve Harvey made a wrong announcement and proclaimed Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. But few minues later, the crown was taken away from her and given to the real winner Pia Wurtzbach.
The mistake caused humiliation for Gutierrez and the Colombians. Some also blame Pia Wurtzbach for the controversy.
