Miss Teen USA

Ok, so I standardly don't comment on things regarding beauty pageants since I feel like they breed the ideology that citizens aren't required to be constructive, useful members of society if they are pretty. But I just can't resist on this one.

During this year's Miss Teen USA, the contestant from Carolina had some sparkling words of wisdom when asked a simple question:

Why can't a fifth of Americans find the United States on a map?

Her response?

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as south Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US or should help south Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future.

Yep, well put Carolina. She totally tried to pull a Bush. When asked a question she can't possibly comprehend (as she is likely within that excessively wide 20 percent) she defaulted to saying the name of an enemy nation, as well as a slew of other unrelated locations throughout the world, none of which have anything to do with our nation's inability to read a map.

But wow! I mean come on! "and should help the Iraq".... THE IRAQ! oh noes! it's the Iraq! Why should this woman be rewarded. Is this truly the best the US has to offer when it comes to Teenagers? I sincerely hope not.
