Blonde American
Miss Teen South Carolina was recently asked as part of a beauty pageant to answer the following question:

Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Her answer is... enlightening.

"Because all this hair dye has burnt into my brain. Also, lip gloss is *so* one of the major food groups."

Ah, it's easy to mock other people. You try answering that question without saying "because our education system blows".

I think she did indeed answer the question fully and comprehensively.

"And in other news today, a beauty pageant contestant was disqualified for cheating. She's accused of having George Bush write her answers."

I feel dirty. My poor ears. My poor brain. They were innocent bystanders to a nasty internet link.

the poor love...she's still going to be having therapy in twenty years, to deal with the embarrassment. To give her credit, it's a crazy question. Why can't they just say "I don't know?" or something that isn't positive.

That made me wince the first time I saw it, so I won't watch it again.

But...damn!

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she was so nervous that she didn't really think before answering or maybe didn't hear the question properly...

...because the alternative is painful.

I like the comments they wrote about this whole kerfuffle in Salon's 'Broadsheet'; sorry I don't have a specific link, it should be only a little bit back. Still painful, no matter which tack you take.
