This clip may be somewhat off topic, but you know what? I don't care. Because it's been gnawing at my brain now for nearly 48 hours, like a game of tetris where all you get are the long, L-shaped pieces and nothing fits, and why should I be the only one to suffer? It's from the Teen Miss USA Pageant, showing Miss South Carolina making less sense than a midget in a David Lynch movie. The wise Dr. Sussman first presented this on Sunday, and for this I will never forgive him. God ... someone get Lauren Caitlin Upton out of my head!
Here's a version with subtitles, as if that will help.

Reminds me of my first motion argument.
Be proud of your public school system, South Carolinians.
Oh please. I see worse than this in History 110 every day.
If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.
Don't think about it for too long or blood'll SHOOT outta your nose.
Jezebel?
Did she say U.S. Americans ? I would be willing to chalk this up to a bad case of nerves, but after all she is blond. (debated between the blond or being from the South joke.)
Following this video, University of South Carolina offered her a full ride.
In defense of Miss South Carolina, it wasn't exactly the type of softball question they usually ask contestants. Basically they asked a 17-year-old girl on national tv, "Twenty percent of Americans are total fucking morons. Why do you think so many people are retarded?"
That said - holy shit, she's an idiot.
She's still a (assuming shes legal) yes
I wonder if she's part of that 20%...
I need a map.
the sad thing is that you know Mario Lopez still wanted to bang her.
It's really all about "the Iraq."
Yes (so long as she doesn't speak).
@Stay Away From Oprah: The OBC finally got his academic standards in place, huh?
How short is AC Slater ? It looks like Miss S.C. has at least 4 inches on him.
@Jack Cobra: I thought he was gay?
"Followup? Yes, Fennis?"
"Can you find South Carolina on this map of South Carolina?"
*pretty head explodes*
Slater should have stuck with Jesse. She had a bright future; just lacked time, I guess.
I think she was Sutcliffe's inspiration for the "George Clooney can solve that thing" reference
what happened? I went cross-eyed and passed out.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the smile fade and disappear from her face as the question was asked.
@Lady Andrea: As long as you know the rate structure of the cell phone plan you're about to buy, I think you'll be OK...
And with that, I'm off to IHOP...
@Signal to Noise: Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chairman, also grew up there. I am proud.
Are there fuck lions in the Iraq?
Brett Myers thinks she's retarded
@Jack Cobra: the sad thing is that you know Mario Lopez still wanted to bang her brother.
Your gaydar has been in the shop since 1997, hasn't it?
@Stay Away From Oprah: Hence the episode where she was hopped on caffeine (or was it speed? I can't remember if the show was too wholesome for speed).
If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - poise counts! It's just as important as the others. Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!
@The Fan's Attic: I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so ... scared!
@Stay Away From Oprah: As a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina, I resent that.
I can't deny or refute it... but I sure as hell resent it.
She's about as qualified as our current president in the international relations department.
Forget General Petraeus. She and Rick Sutcliff should head over to Iraqistan with Clooney to fix that thing.
This was like the anti-Frank the Tank moment for Miss South Carolina.
That type of question should be reserved for a girl detective, not a beauty queen.
Come on now, people! Anybody could miss the U.S. on a map, all tucked away down there.
If you look closely enough at the video, you can actually pinpoint the moment when the hamster in her head steps out of his wheel for a smoke break.
I believe the US education such as South Africa such as Iraq should help US Americans.
That belongs in Non Campis Mentis, right up there with Joseph Stalin using the peasants as "Escape Goats"
"...I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
ooh, first comment of the day came off a little snippy.
How do you answer the question "Hey, how did you become an idiot?"
Sutcliffe is on the phone.
To be fair, the South Africans really haven't been helped at all by our US American educational system. And I don't get it, either. What the hell is a "Map"?
The eventual winner was asked, "Do you love puppies? If so, why?"
@Stay Away From Oprah: Barring that, I'm willing to offer the same.
Garmonbozia?
Maybe she fared better on the math...
@ChiSwede: Ah crap, little slow on the draw. Sorry. I was looking for my map.

Finally, a girl who I can with whom I can fuck her brains out.
From her bio page:
"Her career goals include earning a four-year Graphic Design degree. Ultimately Caitlin aspires to create special effects for television and movies."
After watching this video, I somehow get the feeling she'll be doing more "acting" than creating.
A: I believe blah, blah, blah, blah, so that we will be able to build up our future.
Q: Some Americans like chocolate ice cream, and some like vanilla. Some like both, and some like neither. Why do YOU think that is?
A: I believe blah, blah, blah, blah, so that we will be able to build up our future.
Some Americans don't have maps? What a dilltard.
Wha? a teenage beauty pageant girl is stupid?
@twoeightnine: I guess that won't take much effort.
@twoeightnine: Did she help you with that post?
The only question I'm concerned with her answering is "Are you on birth control?" As long as she know how to find a penis on a map of the human body, she'll do just fine.
Take that, Girl Detective.
@HeavyPettingZoo:
*knows (sorry)
For the record, Travis Henry doesn't car either way.
Can't you see, people? She made perfect sense... Americans can't find the U.S. on a map because they don't have maps!
@HeavyPettingZoo:
*care (wow am I off today)
