Anybody else see this last night? Youtube linkThe knowing look on Slater's face at the end is priceless. The thing is, was this a red herring question? No way do I believe that 20% of Americans can't find the US on a world map. |

ehh... no. She did beat out West Virginia for 3rd runnerup though. Probably was the frontrunner before the fatal question.

If you turn the volume all the way down, she does a fine job.
It reminds me of when Brittany Spears was a teen sensation. Her songs were great, we just always had the word "mute" on the screen.

Wow, and she wasn't even representing Oklahoma.
Hopefully the South Africans can buy Iraq maps for the rest of the U.S.

Well, you know she could be from the coastal part of South Carolina, and if the pageant was at altitude she may have been feeling the effects of oxygen deprivation.
...or she's really blond.

Really REALLY blond. On the positive(?) side, she will be go down in history as the first person ever to end a sentence with the four words "everywhere like such as."

Usually if I see something like this posted I ignore it, but not this time. That was hilarious. Thank you.

I'll try my translation skills that I have been working on lately:
People in America can not find their own country on a map because some Americans do not have maps. We should help people in South Africa and Iraq, as well as other Asian countries, so we can make our position better. [smile]
FAIL
Wow, just wow. I presume, ahh never mind. I was going to try and figure out the talking points she was trying to work in but its damn hard to connect South Africa with Iraq in any meaningful way. Let alone what either of those countries have to do with Americans finding the US of A on a map.
She'll probably be giving her next speech on a brass pole. And the world will be better off for it.

I've watched it 20 times and could keep watching it. I keep thinking of the watch party in South Carolina with friends and family huddled around the TV only to go from cheering to utterly speechless.

Well, South Carolina, they probably agreed with her. |
