Miss Teen South Carolina, I’m a U.S. American With A Map…

…and my dog is too.

My sister Sheila Cameron designed these T-shirts. She is the only person I know who actually witnessed Lauren Caitlin Upton’s response live on the Miss Teen USA Pageant. She laughed so hard she nearly went into early labor (she’s due in October.) In case you missed it, click here to see the helpful subtitled version on YouTube.

In Lauren’s defense, I think we’ve all been there, just not on national TV. I can recall a espcially brutal charades game where I drew a complete blank and just stood there for a very long minute. (Clue was Daniel Deronda, title character in George Eliot novel.)

    The thing about your sister nearly going into labor made me laugh out loud. I have to admit I feel a little sorry for the girl who is going to be haunted by this stupidity forever!

    Miss South Carolina embodies the popular skewed view that people have about this country we live in. I found it utterly scary the way she fumbled her words into more or less how America has to save places like Africa, Iraq, and Asia??
    This government has us just were they want us, programmed and speaking like robots when it comes to real issues and unable to speak about the failures of the direction of our nation. I found it not funny, but a freakish vision into the mindset of Americans.

    What I love is that this has made it all about Caitlin, the fourth runner up. I feel sorry for the poor girl who actually won.
    I think Miss South Carolina will be just fine. Like Vanessa Williams.
    Linda — I can’t believe you saw it live too. Hilarious 🙂

    I have to take issue with any generalizations about the “mindset of Americans.” The people I meet in my life are a pretty diverse bunch with a range of opinions, some of which I agree with and some that I don’t.

    Alex Jones says it best when it comes to how dumbed down the general public is!
