Poor Miss South Carolina.
I have no idea what the ratings were for the recent Miss Teen USA pageant, but I know I wasn't watching. But I have seen the pitiful clip of Miss South Carolina's rambling rant on why many Americans can't locate the U.S. on world map.
It would be too easy to poke fun, and too many already have, so let's hope she was just really nervous.
However, there's a lesson here for all of us regarding the conversational media -- millions of people that have no interest in a beauty pageant have watched this disaster. A mistake by any of us now lives on the Internet. It can be shared, forwarded, commented upon and rapidly distributed to an even larger audience than the original broadcast.
Just like bad news about your company, or missteps by members of your management team.
