The Miss South Carolina Teen USA phenomenon (TOM)

Most of you have heard (and probably seen)the mess that was Miss South Carolina Teen USA's answer to her final question during last Friday's live telecast of Miss Teen USA. It's all over the media, but in case you live in a cave, here is the video:



I was so inspired by this moment (combined with hypnotized by Caite's beauty) that I sketched out a caricature strip of what should have gone down:

Tom, I think that's the only thing that could have saved that poor girl. I have a hard time believing anyone could be that stupid, so maybe she just choked under extreme pressure. I hope that's the case anyway. Nice strip, though. No pun intended.

Tim-- I think that's it, the pressure and being broadcast on national television. She kind of redeemed herself on The Today show with Matt Lauer a couple days ago. She was asked the same question and reanswered it, although she obviously rehearsed it like crazy. She had a good sense of humor about the whole thing, though. Now she just needs to do Playboy or porn.

Andy--thanks, brother!

She could have a career as a political speechwriter I suppose.

Rumor has it that Trump Modeling agency had just signed her (I haven't seen any sources yet--just heresay on forums).
