Miss South Carolina is a Genius
I think beauty pageants are pretty ridiculous to begin with, but this is pretty hilarious. At the Miss Teen USA Pageant, Miss South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin, was asked the following question:
"A recent poll showed that 1/5th of Americans can't find the USA on a world map and why do you think this is?"
And her amazing answer:
Lauren Caitlins answer: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the U.S., umh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us."
The only sentance that I can decipher is: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps." Although it's not a very good sentance, or answer for that matter, she would have been better off stopping right there...
Even better? Miss South Carolina placed in the Miss Teen USA contest after that stellar answer.
Speaking of "beauty pageants", what the hell is up with them anyways? It's more like a contest of who can get the most plastic surgery and who can pretend the most convincingly that they give a shit about global warming or even know what they are talking about (see above quote). I especially like how you can not be Miss America if you have children or are married, but you can go get a nose job and breast implants. It sounds like Donald Trump and his partners (the owners of the Miss America Pageant) made up the Miss America criteria in order to parade around a bunch of pretty, available women for them to choose from.
I can see it now, a bunch of ugly rich men sitting around talking: "Let's see, how can we get hot chicks to hang out with us? How about we spend a bunch of money on a lavish pageant where the criteria for entry is open only to beautiful, young, unmarried women. *laughing* That will totally work, Donald. Chicks are suckers for that shit. Make sure you throw in the rules that they can't have kids or an abortion either, I don't want to bang a slut. Also make it clear that we're okay with plastic surgery. Can we sneak something in there about requiring breast implants? No? Okay, good enough..."
Edit: After watching the video of Miss South Carolina again, did anyone else notice that Mario Lopez did her a favor by cutting her off? Haha...Nice move. Mario is a pro. :)

9 Shenanigans:
I sure hope those looks of hers hold out because she doesn't have much else going for her. Her parents should have better spent their money on furthering what little bit of education she appears to have, instead of beauty pagents.
Well, she was smart enough to name drop the right countries; Iraq, Asia Africa...she just couldn't use them in a sentence.
I was watching Mario the entire time and noticed him cutting her off at the end...it also looked like he was holding back...like he really wanted to laugh at the answer.
Poor dear. She ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. Maybe Donald's entry requirement also included low IQ.
I wonder if contestants are told the questions in advance or this one just surprised her.
Dear Summer,
Critisizing a Teenager, who is put on the spot in front of millions of viewers is easy and her mishap might give certain people a sense of gratification. I, personally, felt bad for her. In my opinion, she is a beautiful and bright person, but simply lost it. She easily could have won this competition. PS: you might want to use the spell checker on your computer when making derogatory comments about other people......"sentance"... is this like a mutation of "sentence" and seance"???
Monks - Yes, I noticed that too. I'm sure she was coached to say something about those countries, so she would seem worldly and up on current affairs. Unfortunately, not so much...
Bulbboy - I pray to god that she didn't know the question in advance. I'm sure she couldn't fuck up that bad if she did.
Anonymous - This is a blog, not a spelling bee. Sentance is a mispelling of sentence (since you couldn't figure out how I came up with that...I accidentally spelled it with an "a" instead of an "e"). But, if you want to make it a spelling contest, how about trying to spell "critisizing" again...Any how, I hardly think calling Miss South Carolina a "genius" and labeling her answer as "stellar" is too harsh. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings ;). I'm sure that she will look back at this and think, "Wow, I sound like an idiot". I would.
Please get your facts straight. Donald Trump owns the Miss Universe pageant, not Miss America. The Miss America program is a non-profit organization that promotes scholarships and higher education for young women.
"The Miss America competition began in 1921 as part of a stunt by Atlantic City businessmen to extend the summer tourist season."

I never said the Miss America pageant was for monetary profit. It was developed so old rich businessmen could oogle and possibly bang young, beautiful, single women.
And you're right Miss America isn't owned by Donald Trump, Miss USA is. Huge difference, I'm sure...
The word is spelled "sentEnce", not "sentAnce." Perhaps you should get the crown.
Shut up William. Read the entire post before you make comments like that. I am even more baffled that your post is like 4 months after the fact and you couldn't even finish reading the 8 comments on here. SMMFH!
