Miss Teen South Carolina gets it horribly wrong

The 'I's have it..

Some one should start the Official MR Pageant Thread. Then the MR-Ws can submit their best photos.

We should probably choose judges.

PS I just saw Miss Teen on Leno. I hope he invites her for a guest.. maybe jaywalking?
 
I vote You.



Erm, eye?




No, wait, ai.




Hold on, I?




Aw jeez, AYE!

Well, in the case of children's pageants, absolutely. But it's not necessarily so in adult ones. A friend of mine participated in the Miss Rhode Island pageant, and she certainly isn't someone you'd expect to be in one of those.

I refer you to your post quoted above. You are indeed not a sheep, but a horse. :p

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 did a quiz thing a while ago, i forgot where it was (i think it was National Geographic. I'm looking for it now), and 98% of Japanese people found Japan on the map, while only 89% of Americans found the USA on the map. Assuming that quiz got a good cross section of the American demographic, that would indicate that there are more than 30 million people who don't know where America is on the map.

30,000,000 people living in ignorant bliss... with obesity rates as high as they are now, a good portion of those 30 million people won't have to live in ignorant bliss for too long.

It's a rather stupid drug if you ask me, expensive and crap there are FAR better non addictive drugs out there that you can even function worth a damn after the effects have worn off.

I really don't get why it's fashionable.
 
i watched this last night, and my first thought, to be fair, was that it was a kinda stupid question.

she started her response in a way that sounded like she was stalling a little....maybe even thinking of a good answer. for a split second, i felt for the girl.

then her brain seemed to melt away. then i laughed. a lot.

good lord...i'm still a little bit in shock at the stupidity. :eek:
 
Though it is pretty damn funny, it seems to me that she was nervous. No doubt there are dumb people in the world and moreover there are apparently really dumb questions as well; she was simply nervous.

Dude, you know that quote is tongue in cheek, right? Do you guys have the Chapelle Show over there? The quote is made famous in a comedy sketch.
 
Poor girl.

We all know what's like to get lost in mid question/answer and completely forget what we are saying. Fortunately for us we don't typically have video cameras and thousands of people watching.
 
Lets not be hard because after all in the Macrumors we can easily to try to be fair with macs and PCs but when in this sort of thing there is not often ways to regard other people in difficult situations who under the sort of pressure that with questions can't often think as in many for the compare with the whole of the United States and so we cant poke fun and in this way be American for in this we are together at least and not apart like an acorn and a tree but united as one which is where we ought to see beyond this.

You lost me after "because"
 
Quite representative of the majority of kids these days. I bet
she could write a dissertation on Lindsey Lowlife.

School is a joke now. An average college degree today is equivalent
to a high school diploma from even 20-30 years ago.

Required military or national service for 2 years sould be required-\no exemptions.
