Oh Carolina

I put in a lot of effort  for this website. I’m not complaining either. It’s something I enjoy, but I take the time. I put other things aside and it’s nice to know that you’re reading. Yes, you. But not you. You. The person who won that Time magazine bullshit? Yeah, you. How you doing? Really? Hey wow.

Anyway – my research for posts yesterday took me to the heats of Miss Teen USA.

Yeah, the things I do – I know.

Well, here’s Miss South Carolina being asked why Americans can’t place America on a map. The answer was priceless. And I thought I was dumb.

“US Americans”? She actually says “US Americans”. These are your countrypersons!

It gets better, and so, so much worse. She reels off countries (and when I say reels, I mean two) that she has probably been told has to namecheck.

“South Africa.” Check.

“Iraq.” Check.

But what was I saying? Oh yeah. Um: “And the Asian countries.”

I love the look she gives right before she starts talking, like she is about to say something really important. A pronouncements of sorts.

Surely she is a threat to national security.

I’m not sure. I’m either with her or against her.

Watch: Miss South Carolina tells it straight

Tomorrow: Miss Hawaii or “How to boost your blog ratings in just 49 days”

Also – I messed up that Stanley Jordan upload for the Weekend Song, so the end was cut off and the bit I was talking about wasn’t actually on there. I have redone it and you can hear it here. And if you missed the post, you can read it here. I guess there’s a little Miss South Carolina in all of us. But not vice versa. Bad me.
