35. Good point - she may have learning disabilities
that are obviously beyond help. It's possible she may have been Special Ed., or at a lesser level, 504. And yes, in my 22 years in education, I have known some drop dead gorgeous young ladies and "all American" looking young men who were classified SpEd.

Good call - there may be some underlying problems with this young lady that we know nothing about. It isn't funny at all.

Or it wasn't the question she had been told to expect. Or any of a thousand other reasons.

Whatever it was, it wasn't funny. Just sad on several different levels.

Right there, the first words out of her mouth, told you what to expect.

I have a feeling she'd play hell finding America on a map herself.

33. I don't think rational people support these
beauty contests. As a teen growing up there was a standard joke about the beauty contestant who was asked about her favourite dish and sweetly replied Pyrex. Now I haven't been a teen for decades. Pretty and dumb appears to be par for the course.:D

24. Why couldn't she just say...
"I Don't Know"???

That would have actually been worthy of respect. ""Hmmm... that's interesting... I don't know."

People seem to think they have to have an "opinion" about everything. But you know what they say about opinions!

But a lot of that looks like a "deer in the headlights" choke job.

I've seen people who aren't necessarily dumb choke up like that.

Again, not saying she's Einstein...

39. Give the guy with a microphone a big, FAT raise
Because if it had been me, I would have deftly threaded the microphone through this bimba's ears. He deserves something for not just falling down laughing or being so appalled (such as) that he did physical violence on this contestant.

50. Actually, it was a brilliant response.
It perfectly captured the reason why Americans cannot read a map, done in a cogently satirical delivery that should have won her the pageant.
