What did she say?

This is too easy. WND is reporting that Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina in the Miss Teen USA Pageant was asked the following question. "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think this is?" So in my mind, a number of different answers come to mind, including a culture that is more obsessed with celebrity gossip and who is sleeping with/divorcing/married to/adopting children with/fighting with who. Why else would we care about Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and the ever popular Britney Spears? We have a generation of young girls who idolize these human waste products and actually try and emulate them in speech, manner and career path choices usually to the detriment of their personal and professional lives.

So Ms. Upton responded to the question with this answer.

“I personally believe that 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 in 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., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

I wonder who Lauren Caitlin Upton’s idols are?

Don’t believe me? YouTube has the video right here and below. Like I said, this is too easy.
