Lauren Caitlin Upton got the whole how-to-look thing down. As far as bringing the mental portion to the table, Miss South Carolina was off the map. Literally. Check out this attempted answer during Friday's Miss Teen USA Pageant.

Just.Wow.

Maybe now we know why Steve Spurrier made such a big fuss about the South Carolina academic admissions policy.

1	uhhhh. yeah... What a fruit cake... I don't know too many people that haven't seen a map. Sure, maybe if you're 3 years old. But even preschoolers are learning that stuff... well, maybe not that early. But geeze. We need to help Africa and Iraq because we are stupid and can't point out the US on the map?

Maybe i should give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she heard the question wrong haha.

Though maybe seeing it in print would help:

“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”

Ok So it didn't help a lick but she is so cute and she tried like really hard.

0	She would have been better off just saying, "What's a map"? Or, "I can't find America on a map either. My generation uses Map Quest or our GPS systems to get around here"....."Here in....where are we?"...."America"!!! Um? "We are in America, Right"?

0	Wow....I think I felt my brain getting softer and softer by the time that was done. Did anyone else think that when she first started her answer, she was going to say osama?? "Osama took all the maps from the US Americans so the people of South Africa can't read and the US citizens don't have a map of Iraq...."

0	O.K., Be honest --- how many people when they watched it for the first ti,e thought she was saying that we didnt have any maps because of Osama Bin Laden at the first part ?

1	Looks like Mario Lopez as the host. He must have "Lopez'ed" on himself listening to that. He could have Lopez'ed on her, and gotten away with it after hearing her rambling.

0	To be honest, it looked to me like she sort of panicked and her mind went blank. It's hard to imagine what it's like to be on national TV and have to answer a question when you know millions of people are watching, a lot of people freeze up and it kind of looked like that's what happened to her.

0	OH MY....I haven't really botherd looking into the actual answer being that I figured it would be just some blunder in some "All I want is World peace...yada, yada, yada" type answer, but did she smoke something or snort something before answering that question! I understand nervs and all, but OH MY!! This is worse than Jessica Simpson and the tuna fish comment.
