Miss South Carolina on Education

I honestly don't think I would have done much better. Although my response to being sideswiped by a question would most likely be drool and obscenities, rather than nonsense.

Sideswiped? What?

It was the question portion of the pageant. Was she surpirsed that she was asked a question? Has she never seen a pageant?

Pretty much the only thing a person has to do in preparation for the question part of one of these contests is to stay focused and pay attention. All she had to do was listen to the question, and she still messed it up.

The whole Today thing was a joke. She would have been better off saying English isn't her first language, or that she had major surgery that day and was heavily medicated.

I'm impressed that people like this can even feed themselves.
 
i'd hazard a guess that the question she was expecting was something along the lines of, "Do you believe ALL of the contestants are beautiful, or just SOME of them?

OMG.

The miss south carolina thing = sad
the French thing is shocking, a whole room full of random people and 58% don't know that the sun is the center of the universe and the earth's only orbital is the moon?

I was thinking the punchline of the youtube video would be that the audience would return a 100% vote for the moon and the guy would feel like a dope for needing their help ... but, wow. Glad no one asked me to bet money on what the audience would say - never would have predicted that ... wow.
 
haha, OK, I meant solar system then, I would get it right on a multiple choice game show though :laugh:

I should have been more exactical.
 
Maybe the audience was mad at him for being such an idiot and somehow decided to sabotage him as a group... Regardless, that made me laugh for a good five minutes. I also remember seeing a celebrity jeopardy clip where none of the celebrities knew what the 2nd planet from the sun was. I think carson daily said it was Mars....
 
The French thing almost makes sense.

Why wouldn't they think the Sun revolved around the Earth when many of them think the Earth revolves around France?
 
What did she actually say? I was trying to figure out some strain of a sentence that might explain what she was attempting to communicate... oh well, I'm sure she'll make a great trophy wife some day.
 
Well I mean she was right that some americans live in places like South Africa and Iraq. But that's hardly where the education problem lies.
 
Well, like all others countries we have our "dumb ass"... :)

I just don't understand why they feel the need to show us how ignorants and stupids they are...

because we are Americans and we found evidence that people in other countries might actually be dumber than us. :)

now we just need to find some videos of incredibly fat and lazy people from other countries
 
Nothing will ever surprise me again after seeing a woman on 5th Grader be very sure that there were 352 feet in 2.5 yards, then decide to go with the girl's answer of 78 feet instead.

(Maybe it was 358. I was laughing too hard.)
 
Honestly, how do people actually get by in this society? That's what amazes me... Seriously. How do they function? Natural selection clearly isn't working out the way it was intended...

And in a related note, I just got back from Wal-Mart.
 
I LOVE how Mario is trying to hold in from busting up lol. That dude should get a pay raise. I would have lost it :)


The dumb chick should have just said... "You know what? I didn't know that... What a shocking statistic. I am shocked." ...and then kept her mouth shut.

and left it at that. Had she actually paid attention to the question, she probably would have said something that would have made at least SOME sense to a child in 1st grade.
