There's an anime called MAPS. I have to talk about that because trying to talk about this clip is too depressing for me.


sparklefatty - 2008-05-12

Typical blonde. They're all like this.


IrishWhiskey - 2009-02-03

Well... no. Not really.


Your Mother - 2007-08-25

Jesus. Just...um...wow.

ouch, ouch, the stupid, it burns!!!!

Holy shit that was great

Slater wants to laugh at her so badly. I'd hit it alright, but with a thirty pound bag of sand.

HOOKER, YOU POACHING BASTARD CHECK THE HOPPER FIRST FROM NOW ON.


Hooker - 2007-08-25

I searched for "teen" and "usa" in there. What's it called?


Hooker - 2007-08-25

Oh, I see it. My bad.


Aernaroth2 - 2007-08-25

Its like a tanker truck full of buzzwords rammed head-first into an 18-wheeler with a full load of morons doing 100 mph.


FABIO2 - 2007-09-22

I had a roommate on the football team in college who talked exactly like that in all his papers, presentations, and to people he was trying to impress.

In exchange for proofreading his papers though he got me access to more abundant choochie than I'll probably ever see again, so I can't hate the guy =(


ZawBanjito - 2008-02-19

Was he a tight end?

If she had a South Carolina accent I'd give this five stars.

I am shocked that the girls in a competition about looking good are dumb.

P.S. THE HOPPER IS A FAILED EXPERIMENT!

If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, I feel that the Hopper has ruled this world as a stumbling, demented child-king long enough


Michael Houser - 2007-08-26

My five stars is actually for Afgh quoting Alice Cooper by way of Vincent Price -- double reference score, sir!!!
Stupid hopper. Too bad the people that made this site died eons ago -- they would know what to do.


IrishWhiskey - 2007-08-26

The girl is a genius.

She was asked a question about dumb, geographic illiterate Americans, and instead of answering directly, decided to provide an example of the problem, to illustrate just how serious it is.


Corplos - 2007-08-26

"like, such as, and..."


uekibachi - 2007-08-26

is she allowed to drive a car?

Natural Male Enhancement - 2007-08-26

She's right! We have to help those poor people get the things they need so they can have the ability to learn to do those other things! God bless you, Miss South Carolina, for having the courage to tell the truth! Now take off your shirt.

(Since she's from South Carolina, I assume that the real reason why she's having such a hard time is because she's desperately struggling with the primal, ancestoral urge to answer "because they're niggers.")


Cap'n Profan!ty - 2007-08-26

You know she's thinking it. Why did South Afriraq come into it, anyhow?


Princess v2.1 - 2007-08-26

what a fucking retard


KnowFuture - 2007-08-26

oh no she DITTEN' say "U.S.-Americans".


simon666 - 2007-08-26

that was actually the smartest, though most accidental thing of intelligence she said. Technically, all from the tip of chile to canada are 'americans'. see the HUGE wikipedia discussion on it...

anywho, we're getting off topic with such comments so allow me to get back on: i'd hit it.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2007-08-26

I'd hit Amy Teegarden, whoever she is.


KnowFuture - 2007-08-28

Oh, I know, it's technically correct, it just sounds retarded.


A Jumping Spider! - 2007-08-26

Oh, come on. She's fucking with them, right? You can't write a better answer than that.


Hooker - 2007-08-26

Oh, man. Chet, dude that originally submitted this still got points towards front page access, right?


Caminante Nocturno - 2007-08-26

He would, if the hopper system was functioning in any manner.

Free maps for everyone! Then South Iraqfrica will be free.


Cap'n Profan!ty - 2007-08-26

What the ever living fuck was that? I work on South African cartography, and you, miss, do not know South African cartography. You do not know how to answer questions. Oh my sweet merciful Jesus was that incoherent. The cum of judges must cause memory loss.

Is it still deposition week?


Elainen - 2007-08-26

Now we need the video of Miss North Carolina's thought-provoking question. Joey Lawrence asks her about the biggest risk she's ever taken and she starts babbling about how it took a lot of courage for her to go snowboarding in Canada.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2007-08-26

You know, the more I watch this, the more sympathetic I become to this poor girl., and the more I think she did a great job.

You'e a sixteen year old girl, called upon to explain a great social evil off the top of her head, but you say anything controversial. If you ask this question of a candidate in a presidential debate, he or she knows what to do... blame the other party. But a beauty pageant conestestant knows that her job is to not offend anyone. You can't blame liberals, conservatives, capitalism, television, or the fact that Americans are idiots. What do you do?

What CAN you do? It's the beauty pageant equivalent of the Kobyashi Maru. You have to take the hit. You point your supple young breasts at the camera, and you speak pure gibberish. And then you smile at the end.

You have to admire her poise. She never loses her cool. I hope she won.


lolcoolj - 2007-08-26

she didn't


IrishWhiskey - 2007-08-26

How about just saying "More funding for schools, or more maps in classrooms, or more 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?' "

All of those seem less controversial than some rambling vaguely racist sounding answer involving Asians, Iraq and South Africa.


Hooker - 2007-08-26

Yeah, I really don't know how many times you watched this to have that conclusion float to the top. This video has been circulating the Internet specifically because of how horrendously stupid it is.


baleen - 2007-08-26


Well done!
Did you honestly just fall off the fucking POEN boat to deliver us this piece of jurisprudence?


You know, the more I read your comment, the more sorry for you I feel. You are a poster from Poe News who reincarnated himself as an equally stupid poster and then resurfaced on PoeTV to defend a beauty pageant contestant. I mean, you could have said anything, but you left a two paragraph case study of how difficult it is to be a 16 year old girl who can't say things like "I believe that the education system should be improved. Schools should be funded. Kids, stay in school." It's really easy to answer questions like that if the bar is set at "beauty pageant contestant."


Xiphias - 2007-08-27

somebody's got a crush~~~


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2007-08-27

Being 16 with no education is HARD, you guys. Have some compassion. That is what Miss South Carolina is here ON television to teach us.


FABIO2 - 2007-09-22

The only thing I ever learned from every single Carmen Sandiego game was what the currency of Russia and India were called.


joelkazoo - 2009-01-13

I didn't even learn that! (I learned THAT from watching the "counterfeit box tops" episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle!)


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2009-06-02

"More funding for schools, or more maps in classrooms, or more 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?' are not answers to the question that was asked. They are answers to another, far easier question. Answering a differernt question than the one that was asked is a skill that politicians are drilled on. Are Pageant contestants? They will be soon, I'm sure.


Hooker - 2009-07-27

John Holmes Motherfucker:
You are stupid. Shut up.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2018-01-02

>>>How about just saying "More funding for schools, or more maps in classrooms, or more 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?' "

because that's not the answer to the question she was asked. Everybody who has ever answered the question since 2008, including Gore Vidal, has chosen to turn the question on its head, which makes it much easier to answer, but for the person who is hearing it for the first time in front of an audience, I think that I would try to do what she did, which is to try to answer the question she was asked, which was about the problem, and not about the solution. Everybody knows that Carmen Santiago teaches kids about Geoography, but I don't know whose fault it is that kids don't know geography. I guess I'd blame Republicans, but that's not a good answer for Miss South Carolina.

She didn't win, but i think she was a runner up. Which makes sense, In this kind of pageant, staying poised while not being able to answer the question is more important than being able to answer the question.

>>>John Holmes Motherfucker:
You are stupid. Shut up.

Well, Touche!
Good burn, Oscar Wilde!


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2018-01-12

>>>Yeah, I really don't know how many times you watched this to have that conclusion float to the top. This video has been circulating the Internet specifically because of how horrendously stupid it is.


You know, it's ten years later, but I wanted to say that, as a man, I'd never been mansplained to before. This is some serious next-level shit.


Adramelech - 2007-08-26

She'll be voting in a few years.


MK_Ultra - 2007-08-26

Thank you very much, South Carolina.


Jingoro - 2007-08-26

It sounds more like cognitive dissonance than genuine stupidity. It's not that her answer is bad per se, it's just word salad, totally uninformative. Maybe she's just really shy, or has a fear of public speaking. Still, haha, bimbo.


Billings - 2007-08-26

Hilarious, but seriously. The poor girl was clearly scared out of her wits by stage fright.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2007-08-26

No, she was bested by Aimee Teagarden, who proved once and for all that a seventeen year old actress has more gravitasse than a 17 year old beauty pageant contestant.


Cube - 2007-08-26

That'll teach you not to learn your answers by heart in advance. Especially if it's for a different question.


baleen - 2007-08-26


Answering questions involves saying words, she got that part right.


Xiphias - 2007-08-27

bad at impromptu speaking, nervous, or just dumb? Maybe all three.


Mayberry Pancakes - 2007-08-27

Did she just end a sentence with "such as"?


Pie Boy - 2007-09-03

No, it was "such as, and". Which validates it entirely.


EvilHomer - 2007-08-27

From the mouth of babes.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2007-08-27

Also it sounds like she's saying 'Osama' instead of some for the first part of that sentence. I thought she should have just finished her original thought of "Osama blew up everything on the maps, so we need to make new ones!" but then she detoured. Still, this is compelling.


Billy Buttsex - 2007-08-27

Five stars just because Slater was in it

The reason Bush got reelected is because his detractors are too fucking lazy. Try harder.


TrafficCone - 2007-08-29

Why do they ask beauty pageant contestants how to solve the world's problems anyway? I could never figure that out. It takes hours for them to truss themselves up for the contest, but they're expected to be geniuses, too. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. Studying takes time.

And if you're lucky to be born attractive, why is it assumed that you should automatically be a genius? I'm a college graduate and I don't know fuck all of why people don't want to learn geography. I don't care much for geography, either.


Herr Matthias - 2007-08-30

The worst part of this? She won third runner-up.

(Also, I thought she said "Osama" near the beginning, too, not "some of" in a ditzy accent.)


phalsebob - 2007-09-16

It's like her mouth is saying things before her brain has thought them up.

Diarrhea of the mouth.


ebola - 2008-08-07

To be fair I've been asked difficult questions in front of a panel of people and fucking lost my mind and said the most retarded babbling shit. Fortunately I was able to stop, compose myself and start over.

I'm not looking forward to my dissertation defense.

Also: f-ing fine. I should feel bad about saying that about a chick born in 1989 but fuck it.


Geoff Marr - 2008-12-30

But she didn't answer the question.
