Miss dumb blond USA? Our national embarrassment over a South Carolina teenage contestant's world knowledge.
  • gentle disagreement that this is a gender-based phenomenon...

    ...because I clearly remember laughing just as hard (if not harder) at the "Boom Goes The Dynamite" kid, and that one weather guy who lost his s*** on air when he saw a cockroach.

    There's a cheap, somewhat guilt-inducing, but mostly sympathetic laugh to be had whenever someone live on the air goes into complete and total meltdown like Miss Teen South Carolina. That she's pretty and blond and young really doesn't matter so much as the complete and total train wreck that was her answer.

    At least that's one male-type person's view.
