The world of beauty pageants has seen its fair share of spectacularly botched responses during the contests' Q&A portion.

Authorities in Utah have arrested four teens, including a recently crowned beauty queen, and charged them with setting off an incendiary device after they allegedly tossed homemade bombs at local homes and residents.
