Don’t Have Maps

Posted on August 28, 2007 - Filed Under Humor

Oz, It's often been said when I make my trips to Europe that Americans have little knowledge of World Geography. I really couldn't argue the point with them, even though I felt I did very well in Geography, a few of my friends I knew, did not. However, this video making the rounds on American television, makes one pause. Perhaps laugh, I don't know. I thought I would share it here in case it didn't make it on Australian telly. Apparently this is a beauty pageant, and the question was related to why supposedly one fifth of Americans can't locate the USA on a World Map. (A little hard to believe). This is how the girl, Miss South Carolina replied:

    Hi guys, I got that in an email a couple of weeks ago and had tears rolling down the face I laughed so much. That is one young lady that forgot what the original question was I’m thinking.

    Muckinbudin and Wyalkatchem hey?? You could really confuse her and ask her if she knows how to find Useless Loop.
