Anyone catch Miss Teen pageant last night?

[rotandroll]

During the Q&A portion South Carolina was asked why she thought "1/5th of Americans cannot locate the United States on a map". Her answer was... terrifying.

"I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some...people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and...I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our..." (buzzer cut her off, indicating she was out of time.)

I'm not joking, that is a direct quote. I can understand being nervous, but let's get real, I'm guessing she's one of that ratio that can't locate US on a world map!!!

New Jersey on the other hand was incredibly poised, her answer was brilliant, well presented and she's obviously quick witted. I thought on that alone she should have won.

Did anyone else watch?? What did you think?

At german tv they do "tests" sometimes, asking people questions everyone should be able to answer.
Here are some examples:
-How long is a day in the USA? : Ah, 21 hours?
-Why do we have night and day? : Because the sun is circling round the earth
Did you ever hear that its the other way round? : No, I´ve never heard that

What I will remember forever is my first stay in the US, living with a family, when the "father" asked me, if I know pizza...So I told him, that pizza is originally italian and Italy is not far from Germany, so YES!!

Uli, that reminds me of the time when we were at a fireworks display in New Jersey, and I was introduced to an old manager of my cousin, and he asked me if I enjoyed the fireworks and that had I seen fireworks before back home in Scotland? He truly believed that we still stay in little crofts with no electricity, huddling round a wood fire. lol
