Miss Teen South Carolina attempts to answer a question about why 1/5 of Americans can’t identify the United States on a map (YouTube)

Ordinarily, we like to take weekends off to recharge the ‘ol batteries, drink a few cocktails, catch up on our missed sunshine and commiserate with the outside world.  But since this exchange is so friggin’ funny, we just had to show you the video goodness that is Miss Teen South Carolina attempting to answer the question: “Recent polls show that 1/5 of Americans can’t identify the United States on a map. Why do you think this is?”

And the comedy ensues.

If for some reason you can’t see the video, here’s the Burrelle’s transcript of the exchange:

Questioner: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Miss Teen South Carolina: I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa or should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us.

One just can’t make this stuff up.

Hasta la manana, mis amigos.
