Working in the education field, I wish I could say I am surprised

I teach at the college level and it is absolutely shocking how little these kids know about life in general. One kid I had in class didn't understand how to calculate a percentage or use decimal points!

Now this "teen queen" girl, she sounds like someone coached her to say specific things regardless of what the question was like "I personally believe that US/Americans are unable to do so . . ." and then she is lost from that point on.

What I don't understand is how the hell South Africa had anything to do with this question? I mean, how do you make that kind of leap?

Someone probably coached her to talk about Iraq, Africa, the poor, world peace....no matter what the question was.

Mario Lopez is even looking at her like she's nuts.

we laughed about this at work all day. then, when i got home, it was on TV. my sister and brother-in-law were visiting, and were like, "have you SEEN that?" ... they said they'd been laughing about it all day as well.

it's really quite sad, because there are so many morons out there just like this... but it's funny because it's so blatant. the poor girl is probably embarrassed as hell.

the "such as" kills me. i think it's because i don't have a map.

I agree with you. I think all she could think of was the coaching to talk about current events and that was all she could come up with. I think she may have even said "Osama" or "Obama" which is even funnier.

She was just on Today. She said she was so nervous and only heard about 2 or 3 words and she just didn't know what to say.

Exactly. And really, it wasn't even that difficult a question- she could have answered it in any number of ways.
