Subject: Journalists get details wrong, perhaps more often than they should. For example, when Tim McLean was slain in that brutal Greyhound bus incident,, media reports initially identified him as "Aboriginal". He is not "Aboriginal", but he had physical features that would make some people make this mistake. Anyhow, it's unfortunate that journalists get the details incorrectly but they're only human.

There is a history of misrepresentation, to delegates, the press and to sponsors. It could be a reporter not doing thier job, but as I said, it has happened repeatedly in the past." on 09:26:56 08/27/08 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date yes journaists make mistakes, but my point is that it is not just the journalists who make the misrepresentation. The globe pageant has been represented by its own organizers to delegates and sponsors as the pageant who is ssupporting the teddy bears of hope, they have also used MCI's scholarship information in the past, etc. Instead of resting on thier own laurels they are constantly using other pageants credits (including miss universe, whiich I have seen marketing marterials with my own eyes). Nothing about this pageant is up and up, it is shady to say the least and I am interested in hearing more from the delegate who had her post removed regarding her experience. And anyone else who has something to add. I also have a verry interesting news article somewhere around here about the pageant and organizers that I read last year when another pageant in the USA was ready to sue them for lying about holding one of thier titles. (NT) Christi 11:44:30 08/29/08 Fri I was at the pageant on Sunday in the audience. It was too long, very unorganized, and extremely boring. I was not impressed. And that's just my personal opinion. (NT) -- __, 13:48:12 08/29/08 Fri Dodgy pageant organizations (both Canadian and otherwise) that misrepresent themselves and put on boring pageants that are unorganized and unprofessionally run are nothing new....LE SIGH (NT) -- Yes, I said it., 23:20:57 08/29/08 Fri Christi, MCG never uses MCI Sponsors, they have gotten their sponsors in their own merits. Genesis Multimedia is the videographer of MCG, which is not connected to MUC, they are a seperate company, that are used by MCG and MUC. Nobody stole anything,and never I heard MCG using Teddy Bears of Hope Campaing! At least MCG pays their scholarship to their ambassador and pay the cash prizes they promised to their winners! I think you should stop being a bully, and mind your own business with MCI! There is no need for bashing other pageant, MCG has never bashed you or MCI, so please QUIT IT, and act like a grown adult. I am sure you have a lot of skelettons in your closet, that people and even myself knows about. (NT) -- MCPcontestant-2008, 01:41:30 08/30/08 Sat In regards to MCG/MCP, I am an out of Ontario delegate, when I came to the hotel for the 3 days of training, it was pretty slow at start, as the pageant week continues, the week got better because the Ontario girls came in. MCG organizer went out of her way to make sure we are all taken care of, from meals, transportation, and everything on the kit was delivered as promised. (NT) -- MCPcontestant-2008, 01:57:27 08/30/08 Sat Any production always has a setback, no production is perfect. People who have nothing to do, just find things to make other people look bad for their own benefit. I know who had posted that post, and that person regrets what she posted as she concluded the situation early, but she in end has enjoyed the experience and has thanked the organizer and the staff for everything they have done to all of us delegates. (NT) -- MCPcontestant-2008, 02:00:29 08/30/08 Sat I for one was uncertain in the beginning, but I must say that this experience I had at the end was something I will never forget, $2,500 was worth it, and I will never regret joining MCG pageant systems, which is one of the fairest pageant I have been to so far. I enjoyed my experience at MCG, that I decided to stay here in Toronto for another few weeks, and MCG organizer and staff still contacts me to make sure I am okay here in Toronto. Knowing that the pageant is over, and that their responsibilities towards me is finished, they still are looking after my well being, is something that I can say that they really care about the girls, which other pageants fail to do. (NT) -- MCPcontestant-2008, 02:01:12 08/30/08 Sat I have NO idea what you are talking about and apparently you don't either LOL (NT) -- Christi, 02:24:04 08/30/08 Sat
