Searchles "Outsmart(dumb) Miss Teen South Carolina" Geography Showdown!

CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT: As I'm sure you all have now heard, on August 24th during the Miss Teen USA pageant (scholarship contest?), Miss Teen South Carolina had a bit of a word stumble when answering a question from host, Mario Lopez (aka AC Slater). When asked why a fifth of Americans could not locate the United States on a world map, she responded as such:

"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so, because, is that some people out there, in our nation, don't have maps, and I believe that our education, such as South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like, such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here, in the US should help the US, or um 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."



To her credit, due to sheer nervousness, I'd probably sound like a blubbering idiot if someone even asked me to state my name on live national television. HOWEVER, this does not prevent us from having a little fun at her expense (here at Searchles we're unaffected by guilt or shame).

So, we'd like Searchles users to give it your best go to try to top Miss Teen South Carolina in a competition of "Dumb and Dumber." Tell us in your least intelligent terms why YOU think a fifth of Americans cannot locate the United States on a world map. Imagine the possibilities: you could make fun of Americans, George Bush, South Carolina, teenagers, maps?...really, we're giving you free reign here.

Once you've come up with your best answer, "SHOUT" it on Dumbfounder's profile on Searchles. Shouts are public messages you can leave on a user's profile for all other users to see and you need to be a registered user in order to be able to Shout. On September 10th, we'll choose the winner. The PRIZE will be Dumbfounder's Homer Simpson-head Chia Pet (disclaimer: actual cash value = $0.000001)....because we love the Simpsons and we love love love Chia Pets. We swear, it's pretty sweet...and we will mail it to you. So please, tell us why it is that a whole fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a map and shoot us a message if you have any questions!
