With this post, I believe we now officially become the one billionth blog to comment on/make fun of Miss Teen South Carolina for showing her incomparable grasp of geopolitical issues during the pageant. I can't resist - here's the video again (with subtitles!):
That really never gets old. And it sort of goes along with the whole Hills thing Will posted about earlier in the week, because this girl absolutely should be a character on the Hills. Maybe she already is. Mario Lopez is a gigantic douche, so he'd fit right in on the Hills too. It's a natural.
Anyway, back to the original point of this post. I had a bit of a hunch that maybe, just maybe, Miss Teen South Carolina wasn't the first pageant contestant to give a stupid or weird answer to a question. Guess what? I was right. Turns out that, in fact, other women have screwed up! And it's funny! So let's watch...
Contestant 1: Miss Hawaii 1992
This intelligent, well thought-out answer sort of made me think of two different movie quotes:
You have got to feel embarrassed when even B-list TV "star" Alan Thicke makes fun of you. That's like Gerardo insulting your musical talents.
Contestant 2: Miss Uncomfortable Silence 2006
I'm impressed that she finished. It took her about an hour, but she did it. Even though the audience tried quite hard to usher her off the stage, she was not leaving until she got her answer out completely. You go girl. Also, what is going on in the background? Sounds like someone is jamming out on the bouzouki.
I would really like to make fun of these girls, but I just can't. I loathe public speaking and I could see myself freezing up just like they did. Well... hopefully not quite as bad.
In August 2007, there was a tragic accident at a laboratory in Memphis, Tennessee. From the carnage emerged two enormous children with disproportionate strength and writing ability. This is their story.
