This would have proved your point much better if Nathan had said "France".

... you might be an American.

We have some work to do Progressives!

I'm curious what the earlier questions were that won her the $10,000 she had before this one.

She was bad enough but he wasn't any better and he really outdid himself with the stupid "little woman" routine. She only hears what she wants to hear??

That makes her a typical American more than a typical woman.

AlQuaeda had a point. don't tell ATT I said that...I dont mean it, really I don't...they were wrong, they are wrong, bad dirty and wrong...wrong wrong wrong...praise jesus.

"She has worked as a waitress at a Sonic Drive In franchise, and in 2005, she made an appearance on WSOC-TV's Gimme the Mike! Charlotte contest. She finished in second place. She participated in the Miss America circuit, and won the "Miss Stanly County" pageant at age 17 and subsequently competed for Miss North Carolina 2004. She dropped out and later tried paralegal studies."

I think she gave up on being a paralegal after she learned it had nothing to do with skydiving.

Kellie Pickler, you and all your prior teachers should be ASHAMED.

I thought not.

And if she is real, then lets launch all the nukes; we do not deserve to exist anymore.

After all, she probably knows with 100% certainty that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9-11.

Oh, wait...

I have traveled extensively and I've lived/taught English in Romania, Poland, and Slovakia. Believe me, stupidity is Universal.

True, but obliviousness heaped on a generous portion of self centeredness is not really.

... wouldn't have been hard, now would it?

I mean, yeah she needs some geography lessons... but at least she isn't being a dick about it!

So, um, that's a pretty good reason to hate us.

There's no way he would've done it, it was for charity.

(2) At first I thought, yes, incredible as it seems, she is apparently that stupid. But by the end of it, I was convinced the whole thing was fake. She can't have been that stupid, and then made the joke about Turkey. I smell a plant.

(3) The blond bimbo might just be the stupidest woman in all of north America, but the host is an asswipe. And "Hungry" isn't a country either, dipshit. It's "Hungary".

(4) Yes, Dan, if you've traveled anywhere outside our borders any time in the last 3 or 4 years, you'd know that they hate us. Not so much for our incredibly stupid citizens (which might be quite reasonable), but our incredibly fucked up president.

(5) The dweeby fifth grader, though smarter than the blond bimbo (not difficult to accomplish), was apparently struck mute by the whole painful experience. He never uttered a word.

Why would she be a dick about herself needing geography lessons?

before you slam her, take a view of this version of her bio:
http://www.kelliepickler.com/site.php?content=about

"In school, she dove into every activity that would put her in the spotlight---gymnastics, drama, varsity cheerleader. "I've always been comfortable in front of people. I've always been the joker, the class clown. Music and laughter is how I dealt with everything. I'd rather laugh about it than cry about it.""

I was trying to point out that host's behavior (ie/making offensive and gendered remarks about her listening skills) was much more reprehensible then her (joking?) lack of geography skills.

Either way, this clip makes me want to never watch TV again.

Pickler: "I'm listening to you, but I only hear what I want to hear."
Foxworthy: "That's just called being a woman."
Pickler: *dumb expression*
Audience: *boooooo*
Pickler: *still not understanding the joke* Booo!

On another note: The glib comments trying to tie this into politics are incredibly annoying.

You also might be interested to know that Stanly County boasts towns named "Frog Pond" and "Big Lick". Kellie, says Wikipedia, grew up in the towns of Palestine and New London, which explains why I don't recognize her last name. Usually Miss Stanly County is a Huneycutt.

Over time, people with CGD come to see the world as a fundamentally benign, helpful place, and thus decide they have no need of rational thought, self preservation instinct, knowledge of any actual facts, etc, etc, etc.

Attractive stupid people are even more universally appealing. They help us justify our general ugliness/poverty/lack of status by allowing us to feel superior to them in some way. If Kelly Pickler hadn't been born, we'd have to make her...oh wait, we did...
