Remember that time not too long ago that Steve Harvey committed one of the biggest blunders in recent television history by announcing the name of the wrong Miss Universe, subsequently having to revoke her crown? Yeah, apparently Colombia hasn't forgotten either.

For those unfamiliar, our man Steve "mistakenly" and for reasons unexplained announced this year's Miss Universe winner as Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez. However it was Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, whose name was allegedly printed on the card from which he was reading. The Internet lost its mind, Harvey landed a multi-year contract, and Gutierrez called the ordeal "humiliating."

It appears Colombia's not quite ready to let it go. A video has surfaced of New Year's Eve festivities that included burning effigies of both Harvey and Wurtzbach, CNN reports. And while they add that setting effigies aflame is an established Colombian New Year's Eve tradition, it's not difficult to see how this might be interpreted as some low key bitterness.

I mean it's not all bad for Miss Colombia, right? There's still that shady, opportunistic $1 million porn offer on the table.
