Miss Teen South Carolina

[Cop Magnet]

No, this isn't a Chicks With Vipers -type post. If you haven't seen the YouTube video, it is hilarious. Here's another version:

I think the question was so stupid. How could a person answer that, nicely on live television? Obviously better than she did but still.

5% of Americans can’t find America on a map. I bet finding America on a map is the least of that 5% problem.

Did Miss S. Carolina go to public or private schools?

[SylvanSRT]

question was not that vague? Her answer on the other hand was totally off the wall and not understandable in any way or even remotely connected to the question!

Guys, lets look at the big picture here. She's hot. I don't care if SHE can't find the USA on a map.

3.5 gpa at Lexington High School in Columbia.

And for the record, she lives down the street from a friend of mine, who tells me she is a well-rounded young lady that plays soccer with his daughter on the runner-up to the state championship team.

She simply screwed up when the spotlight was on and it caught YouTube fire.

i think she nailed it.




seriously, i guess this explains why when my bill is $10.63, and i hand the kid behind the cash register $21.00, they freak out.


looks to me like she is a moron and all her answers have been rehearsed - all her words are, "South Africa", "Iraq", "education", "help South Africa", "build our future", "for our children" - (faint at the end).


she just didnt have an answer to a question that had been rehearsed a thousand times IMO.

...but damn she looked good answering that question!

[Venomiss]

Her family must be so proud...did she only take art classes? Specialize in pottery?

Must have missed the speech and geography classes.

Obviously more people are in the same boat with this lady. The question read on the video clearly refers to 1/5 (20%) that can NOT identify the US on a world map.

Yet above, the guy is talking about 5%, and on the caption on the video the guy is saying the question is why only 20% CAN identify the US.

So bash her all you want, but if you can't listen, comprehend, and handle percentages, you are worse off than this ho because you're not hot.

And by the way, the real reason 20% can't identfy the USA on the map is they don't need to know this information. If you are in the rest of the world, such as the Middle East, it's important to know where the bombs are coming from.

Imagine this....she's your wife to come home to......okay, so we're all pretty much smiling!

How many of you would truly care that there'd be a lot of conversations you couldn't have with her? How many times could you use this excuse for being late coming home:

"Awww Honey, I was leaving the restaurant after that business meeting and there were a bunch of kids in the parking lot who seemed really troubled. I asked what was wrong and they were scared about a Geography test the next day and they were going to have to find the US of A on a world map. Honey, I just couldn't in good conscience not help them, especially since this is an issue so personal to both you and I...so I went to Walmart and damn it I bought a world map and we went through finding the US together.

I got sprayed by water from a passing truck though honey, so I'm gonna have a quick shower, sound good my Honey?"

Yep, being that good looking and intelligent....well that's rare!! hehehe

I think in the grand scheme of things she was extremely nervous (very obvious from watching) and she was so shocked by the statistic that she totally screwed up her answer. Did she sound like an idiot...yes...would plenty of other 18 yr olds...ABSOLUTELY.

I couldn't hear her answer because I was so busy trying to figure out how we could possibly have that many morons who can't identify the US on a map

I did not catch 1/5 on the video, I heard 5%

Now I'm speechless.

[Madduc]

She's blonde!

[Cop Magnet]

The question refers to "a fifth of Americans".

Maybe the answer is that a fifth of "Americans" are illegal and/or don't speak English and only need to know a map well enough to head north.

BTW, since she's a teenager, doesn't this get you in trouble with dateline, "viperdoctor"?

[big-n-italian]

she mentioned everything else, but if she had also mentioned health care and tax reform, we could be seeing the next president of the United States.
