dangit, I feel like such a stone-ager... My sound card files are corrupted and I can't hear anything till I get home next week to get access to my system disks. I've seen this spot elsewhere too, but their sound was turned off since the people didn't understand English anyhow...
I'd love to know what the fuss is about... |

rofl, thanks! more of these vids should have subtitle caps.
wow, just watched it. Now I can't wait to go home so I can listen to her voice. She sounds cute!
lol - I think the worst thing is having to be the guy holding that microphone... He's probably thinking to himself "Don't listen and you won't laugh... You don't want to be blamed for RUINING this whatever it is..."
i truly hope he wasn't thinking to himself "Yeah, preach ON sista!"

Letting someone train you to shut off your brain completely is dumber than this girl appears.

I don't think this interview makes her look any smarter.
At least she's kinda hot. |

Yup.... even with the soft interview and coaxing, didn't look like a Rhodes scholar material :-) Oh well.... at least it takes up air time instead of trivial stuff....

Here is here the speech typed out in text. Even reading it over really slowly it still doesn't make sense:
I personally believe that
U.S. Americans are unable to do
because uh, some
people out there in our nation don't have maps
and I believe that our education like
such as South Africa and uh, the Iraq
everywhere like such as and
I believe that they should
our education over here!
in the U.S.
should help the U.S.,
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.
Glad the Americans are gonna done edumacate them there South Africans and the po' people of The Iraq and the Asian Countries. Mebbe when dey is done they gonna come up No'th and edumacate us po' Cana'juns.
lol
-Edit- Yes I made a typo. Sue me.

No, but apparently she is Appa-latch-yun (Appalachian) State College material. :-)

I need to post this somewhere, and I don't think it deserves its own thread... it seems to fit here.
Last night my boyfriend and I were at Circuit City feeling up cameras. A girl asks one of the associates for help she says, and I quote: "I'm looking for a good, pink camera. I don't care what it is, but it has to be pink."
My boyfriend and I froze while our brains tried to wrap around what she had just said. I almost didn't think my boyfriend heard it until we turned around and mocked holding up one of the cameras saying "does this come in pink??" We walked out the door with my new video game (Bioshock, woo!), I tilted my head to the side wiggling the box, and said "does this come in pink??"
I think we'll be asking that question for awhile... about everything... Hello new inside joke! |

At least you pronounced it correctly.

She's going to get cold up there. I wonder if she knows that. |

How cute! It's okay sweetie, you're pretty, you don't have to be smart.
$100 says she'll be on TV or in a movie within a year. |

Where you fall..
One in four adults say they read no books at all in the past year, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Tuesday. Of those who did read, women and seniors were most avid, and religious works and popular fiction were the top choices.
The survey reveals a nation whose book readers, on the whole, can hardly be called ravenous. The typical person claimed to have read four books in the last year -- half read more and half read fewer. Excluding those who hadn't read any, the usual number read was seven.

Dang, this past summer, I was reading 15 - 20 books a month.
Granted, some of them should hardly be classified as "books" but I threw in some Faulkner, HG Wells, etc in there on occasion.

That was kind of my reaction. I was wondering if it meant 4 books on average per week or something.

Have you ever seen the movie Spies Like Us with Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd? Chevy Chase is a military spokesperson at the beginning of the film, and he obviously has no idea how to answer a question from the press, and he blithers on and on in a televised non-answer about Paraguay.
It's absolutely hilarious, and sounds VERY much like what this girl said.
EDIT: Woo hoo! Found the sound clip.

Ouch, that was painful to watch. I have no idea how bright the poor girl is, or isn't, but to me it simply sounds like she choked on the answer because of nerves and too much coaching. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

As i was watching this clip i thought of the Chevy Chase one. I couldn't remember the movie, so thanks for that. Now i need to go and rent it. I seem to remember that it was funny in me youth. But then again i thought 'better of dead' was funny until i bought it a couple of months ago. :)

It is called brain washing. Remember those photos of the little girls in that are edited into dolls by that one lady? These contestants are raised for this. |
