By the way, can we get an "adults only" special forum, please? What about people who like to talk about macs, politics and porn? We are probably a majority, and we deserve a place here!

There is a "special" forum. Just donate to MR and you're in! :D:apple:
 
But the fact she answered something means she isn't fit for politics. Now if all she said was "I can't recall" then she might be going somewhere :D

Excepting ones suffering from early stages of Alzheimer's, most politicians go for the "many words, but little said" approach to questions they don't have an answer to (their strategist didn't give them one for it yet ;)). She followed that perfectly, and even mentioned things completely unrelated (South Africa? In this context, it's like answering "9/11" to a question about taxes")
 
she's intelligent.

A fifth of Americans can't locate the USA on the world map... this can't be true... that's like 60,000,000 people not knowing where they are on a map...

I reckon she couldn't locate the USA on the world map though.
 
I would like for the Miss Teen America people to cite their source for this statistic. Because I once read that 4 out of 5 statistics are made up.
 
I somehow doubt that they used made up statistics on a national television show. I think it was 4 out of 5 statistics you read on the internet is made up. I don't think the judges are stupid enough to use some anonymous statistic for a quite important part of a pageant that the whole nation and more is watching.
 
She is probably younger than you think, and scared to death.
</devils advocate>

That aside, her momma has trained her from a young chil' to be pretty, but not too smart. "Say somethin' about the poor education in the world, and that USA is best, and you'll be just fine"

<rant> pageant culture is shallow, and definitely a sign of self-absorbed has-been parents that should be ashamed </rant>
 
I just watched that again and found it hilarious. Poor girl is probably still crying in some bathroom somewhere.

Why don't we have a beauty pageant at MacRumors. I wanna meet Ms MacRumors 2007.

seconded.
