The internet doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to trolling.
And on Saturday night, it was at it’s irreverent best during the Miss Teen USA finale.
The nationally televised beauty pageant tweeted its top-five contestants in the lead up to the program, as the promotional picture was hit with an almighty internet roasting as a result.

Even model Christine Teigen didn’t shy away from the lack of diversity among the possible quintuplets, tweeting out to her 2.2 million followers:

The Sports Illustrated model’s rant boasted more than 70,000 retweets.
But she later clarified that she wasn’t criticising the contestants themselves, and was sure they’re all “delightful women.”
