that quiz is retarded. it takes too long to drag/drop the items and it took me 10 tries for it to acknowledge my placement of maine…. and 4 tries for california. wtf?
i did one recently where you type in all the state names.. that was a bit better i guess.

It still would've been a "WTF?"-inducing response, but anyways…
I wonder how much coaching she's getting prior to tomorrow's TV appearance??
yeah because getting coached works so well for her… wonder what "buzz" phrases she'll come up with in this interview…

my vote is that she'll go with the one that she didn't manage to get in under the buzzer: "… for our children".

buzz words tomorrow will probably include: childen with AIDS , global warming, and starvation…maybe she'll use "globe" instead of "maps".

it was pretty snappy that she ended with "For the Children," which puts her right up there with Ronald Reagan as potential presidential material.

————————————————
Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina Teen USA a varsity athlete and student leader at Lexington High School, where she graduated in June with a 3.5 GPA.
————————————————
A 3.5 GPA????????
I know I'm old but when did we go to the 100 pt system? :eek:
Note to Lexington High School administrators, it was "Leave No Child Behind" not " Just Get These Dumb As A Stump Idiots The Phuck Out Of Here."
She graduated, yet there's no mention of the proud University that accepted this student leader and her hard earned 3.5 GPA.
Perhaps she planned on deferring a year or so while she finished out the Bush Administration as Chief Foreign Policy speech writer, I mean they really do need someone that can equal the President in his grasp of the nuances of the "The Iraq" and Asian Countries challenges that face our country.

in case you missed it…
this is what Appy State is known for... having the worst recruitment efforts ever.
i don't know what is more painful to watch - this or her question/answer session.

sample lyrics from video
Solid as a rock, proud as a peacock, Appalachian is HOT!, HOT!, HOT!
The closing line is
Even when the weather is cold, cold, cold. Appalachian is still HOT!, HOT!, HOT!

Too funny, it also brings in my Carolina angle, and I guess I rest my case :p
I don't have any "Ivy League" roots as me and mine are West Coast educated, but I think it's great that there's placement for people like Ms. Teen SC, perhaps someday we'll have the time to find placements for less blonde, less white, less financially advantaged, and less photogenic girls and boys from the inner city as well.
But first we should probably ensure they have elementary, junior high, and senior high schools that prepare them to be HOT, HOT, HOT…

Maybe we could just open dogfighting schools for them!
And what makes you think she comes from a financially advantaged home? The per capita family income for SC was 39K for 2004.

that video is awesome. the guitar fill at 0:43 and the vocal ad-lib at 1:50 are stellar.

yeah, really - making fun of a school (especially based on actual evidence, like a laughable recruiting video) - how dare you. that's like making fun of a band you're not into. learn to be a little more self-righteous :roll:

Nope, sorry. I'm a US American who doesn't even know where it's located.

So you didn't go there, you didn't even watch the video, don't even know where it is, yet still felt compelled to call Miss P's comments condescending? OK.

It's in the UNC system, if I'm not mistaken. And it's some sort of Division I-AA football powerhouse, again that may not be the case but I seem to remember that, but I do know they open the football season with an ass woopin at Michigan, that should be HOT, HOT, HOT.
