Miss Teen USA South Carolina 2007 with Subtitles

There is a funny Youtube video of Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton's super funny infamous moment at the recent Miss USA pageant last Friday night.

But here is the transcript of that scene during her Q & A interview section after she made it to made it to the final five contestants, regarding what she thought and what could be done about recent stats that show 1/5th of American students can't point to the US on a world map...

Incredible enough, After the interview, she made third runner up!

The question to her by Actress Aimee Teagarden was:

" Recent polls have shown that a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"


Lauren Caitlin Upton replied:

"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".



This is the
LINK to the funny Youtube video of her pageant interview question ( which is subtitled! ), You guys in Thailand can now see it , since the Youtube ban has been lifted ( for now... ).


I was totally unaware of the map shortage here in "U.S. America"! And I guess we also have to help South Africa, "The Iraq", and those "Asian Countries" find US on a map!



Yes, I know, I'm well aware that it was a "Beauty" pageant, and not an IQ pageant, but still, as a proud "U.S. American" I have to say that....This is pretty emabrassing!
