Miss South Carolina Adjusting Nicely To Life As America’s Most Instantly Recognizable Incoherent Pageant Queen

7:50AM Defamer Hollywood | For an early afternoon Britney palate cleanser, we thought we’d offer you this Tyra clip of South Carolinian Miss Teen U.S.A. 2007 candidate Caitlin Upton, who has secured herself a lasting place in the Annals of American Density for her now-legendary 91-word response to a question about the scourge of geographical ignorance currently plaguing our population. Always one to find an upbeat spin to even the most humiliating of personal defeats, Banks points out that Upton’s own staggering stupidity has granted her a far greater measure of celebrity than actual winner Miss Teen What’s-Her-Face could ever hope to achieve. And as Upton confirms, there is truly no better proof that one has entered the fabric of popular culture than becoming a Halloween costume–its aqua gown, blonde hair, and sash reading, “Miss South Carolina Like Such As” sure to become as popular and iconic an option as Windswept Businessman and Tippi Hedren in The Birds.

Didn’t Anyone Tell Her The Correct Answer Is Always “World Peace”?

5:30AM Defamer Hollywood | Why are 1 in 5 Americans unable to locate their country on a map? No idea, but we can tell you why 5 in 5 inhabitants of South Carolina are fervently trying to develop a vaccine for verbal dysentery. We’re not sure who suffers most here: Miss Teen South Carolina USA herself, whose terrified, empty Ralph-Wiggum-in-drag ramblings end up as a treatise on “The Iraq, and such as”; the attending “U.S. Americans,” the force of whose feverishly choked-back guffaws generated enough pent-up energy to power a small third-world country for a year; or Mario Lopez, for being unable to escape being paid to get saved by the bell. (Indeed, we would have suggested Miss Teen S.C.U.S.A. was just nervously hopped up on caffeine pills, but thanks to Elizabeth Berkeley, we know the signs.) Still, the clear winner in this fiasco is the American education system, which can now easily refute claims of its inadequacy by sputtering, “Some… people out there in our nation… don’t… have brains.” Jenga!
