Miss Teen USA - should it be banned?
hey for all those who can't put the sound on... at work... heres an article i found...
A beauty pageant contestant has exposed a glaring humanitarian problem in the US, in what may be the most "blonde" moment ever caught on film.
Miss South Carolina Lauren Upton pointed out the cartographic deficiency at the heart of the world's richest and most powerful nation.
Contestents vying to be Miss Teen USA were asked why they think one fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a world map.

"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps," Ms Upton said.
This problem didn't stop her promoting the American education system.
"Our education over here in the US should help the US ⦠uh, should help South Africa⦠and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."
The pageant's host struggled visibly to contain his amusement at the 18-year-old's response.
Ms Upton didn't completely fail, taking out fourth place behind the winner Miss Colorado.
It's not the first time Miss Teen USA has ignited media attention.
Last year, it's controlling organisation, Donald Trump's Miss Universe Organisation came under fire from campaigning organisation, Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
The outrage followed allegations that Miss Teen USA was spotted drinking underage in New York nightclubs with Miss USA Tara Conner.
This is so hilarious... and to think she might go on to study nuclear science or some other really technical college degree as all miss USA contestants seem to study (as if).
Although I love watching these competitions... does everyone remember why Jennifer won miss Universe? It was because miss USA said a womans place was in the home or something along those lines. Talk about sticking it to feminism

AHAHAHAHAHA
all i can do is laugh.
Should it be banned?
Yes, because beauty pageants are absurd, as they continue to play to steretypes.
Why do they even have questions that require intelligence, when its a beauty pageant, and year after year, these girls match up to their stereotype, it's as if its all done for entertainment, and that they're pretending to be stupid.
Bahahhah.
