For your viewing pleasure, I present the most groundbreaking speech I have ever heard ........

YouTube Video

.....................NOT!!!

I saw that on Inside Edition last night. I didn't even laugh, it's almost sad because that poor girl is so stupid. Someone needs to tell her and obviously her parents that there is more to life than just beauty pageants.

What is funny though is the look on the announcer guys face. You just know he's thinking to himself "dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies, please do NOT let me laugh, dead puppies, dead puppies".

Im not sure if I want to laugh or cry.

That is sad. She is probably one of the 1/5th that can't find the US. Oh dear.......poor girl.

when I saw that, I was shocked.

On the other hand, extreme nervousness can make you lose your ability to focus and to speak coherently. I think she probably practiced a little speech in her head, but was too nervous to repeat it, which resulted in this incoherent babble...

I also saw that last night and I am still in shock over this. I always thought that was a myth, I mean there are people in this country that do not know where the US is on a map??? Do you think that the "No child left behind" is really working when 1/5 of Americans can't find the country they live in??

But isnt part of being IN a pageant to be able to handle the pressure, and NOT show you are nervous?

I think the only time the "no child left behind" program kicks in is when it's time for state assessments. My youngest DD got F's in Social Studies and Math for two straight quarters last year. She was never invited to tutoring. Why?? Because the state assessments last year were for reading. The kids that were flunking English and American Lit. were invited.

I just love the look on Mario's face when she's done. How do you keep a straight face when she says something like that.
