I remember seeing that. The only I'll say is that you don't need to be smart to win a beauty pageant....

I can't imagine how many people they had to interview to get those results. Also, I suspect several of those people were hobos/illegal imigrants. Miss Teen USA represents nothing to no one. Beauty contests are entirely bunk, there's no work involved, there isn't even beauty involved anymore. Christ, the only people who watch them are women. It's just vanity and noise.

yup correct. that is why its called beauty pageant. beauty is the main thing to it. brains just don't really count.

but i think it unfair to say that americans are stupid, its over generalization. i remember a show here in my country that has the same format, random, everyday questions asked to random Pilipinos and their answers are really incredibly outta this earth. same premise, are we Pilipinos becoming stupid? i believe that the root to all this problem is lack of proper education and poverty. i mean the budget of our country for education is very limited due to corruption by government officials, and this limited amount cannot support the need for proper education for the Pilipino children, what the poor children get are cramp classroom spaces and out of the way, dillapidated, ill-conditioned schools,and inadequately educated teachers coz most of the good teachers fly to other countries for better oppurtunities.And if you want quality education you'll have to pay big money to alot of privately owned school which most poverty stricken family cannot afford.BUT its unfair to say that we Pilipinos are becoming stupid. its just that their are problems that needs to be addressed.

same thing to the USA or even other countries. they each have their own socio-economic problems that hinder some of their people to answer those question from the show rightly. but calling one race stupid is unfair for me. this is my opinion.

It's obvious in the first video those people that answered stupid replys were picked out of a whole mess of others. I'm not defending Americans of their ignorance either.
Miss Teen USA didn't reveal anything new too. It's just another red herring.

And I know for a fact that not all Americans are stupid. Look at Roscoe.
