We're sorry.

Correction: This woman put the "F" in blond.

Honestly, we have to do something about this. I know it makes good TeeVee and all.

LoganSnake

That's not all, folks.

Awww jesus.... that's just sad. "We didn't have flying balls cummin at our heads".

It shows that being pretty is all a woman needs to get through life.

Its very hard to take that as real at face value though.

I'm pretty.

vanblah

Hmmm. Now that we have learned that she was an American Idol contestant this changes everything.

It's all an act. She's now getting more notoriety because of her "stupidity." Just play the dumb blond and watch the media generate your very own FREE P.R.

I hope ...

Willravel

Like Jessica Simpson?

LoganSnake

Jessica can sing.

Jessica also has a down syndrome face

Ilow

I wish I could say that I thought that the whole thing was an act, but I fear that it is not. As Will said. rest of the world, we apologize. Actually, never mind, just rape us at will economically and take full advantage of our stupidity...

Wow! I think if I were female I be insulted to share a gender with her. But I don't think it's a gender thing at all, I've met several guys that were just as stupid. Hell I worked with a guy, sheriffs deputy, who argued with me one day that the moon was too a planet. And he had a college degree. All I can say is don't ever send you're kid to Washington State.

BTW- I'm betting she's had plenty of balls flying at or near her head.

But I'm with UsTwo and vanblah. I think she's putting on an act. Not to say that she's hiding a great genius behind it, but I think she's playing a role.

I showed that clip to my wife and asked her 'Would you have sex with a man that dumb?' and she said 'hell no.'

And there lies the difference between men and women.

Good question, and I haven't asked her.

From a casual sex perspective though it wouldn't matter, it would still be a no, she wouldn't be attracted to someone like that.

On the other side of the coin I wouldn't marry that woman (I think shes a singer) but I'd fuck her brains out, what little their might be.

I wouldn't have sex with her. Might have been able to, or unable to stop myself depending on how you look at it, when I was eighteen. At some point she's going to start talking and I'd have to leave, with or without my pants.

Well, I don't know about UsTwo's wife, but I wouldn't fuck a guy that stupid and I couldn't care less what other 'accessories' he's toting about. Stupidity is a total dealbreaker. As is asinine behavior and spitting in public.

I'd rather masturbate.

Well.... She's hot foresure, but that only goes soo far. I think after about a month, it would get real old. But then again, she may take it up the ass like a trooper...

I watched that episode, and laughed my butt off the whole time she was up there.

No need to apologise USians, we have more than enough stupids on our side of the Atlantic to balance your stupids (at least in the UK... probably in the UK alone).

Not so long ago, I had to educate my then 22 year old cousin in basics of geography such as "Norway is the to the east of Liverpool".

*weeps*

Give her some cracker jacks, flick on the baseball and i doubt she'd notice...

Honestly...
I think it's a reflection of a trend in our society: our current fixation with the media, and the need to fill it with charismatic beauties, allows beautiful people to survive with minimal know-how.

She didn't need a high school degree to look pretty on stage and sing. She did need to work hard and practice to attain any level of performance-level vocal prowess. She also needs to put more effort into her appearance than most studious, university-driven folk. One only has so many hours in a given day. She chose to use hers to sing, dance, put on makeup, etc.

As long as she can see to her basic needs without a lick of common knowledge, she will not bother to learn.

Would you want it any other way?
(I know I would)

Well now I agree that the education system is failing and that this woman is a good example, I'm not sure that the test is particularly applicable to modern society.

The saying goes that in Greek times it was possible to learn everything known to man by the time you were eighteen.

The 'amount' of human knowledge has increased exponentially since 1895 and there is definitely a finite limit to the amount that you can teach in school.

I would not be displeased if students today are trading knowledge of this:

. Define verse, stanza and paragraph
. What are the following, and give examples of each: trigraph, subvocals, diphthong, cognate letters, linguals
. Write 10 words frequently mispronounced and indicate pronunciation by use of diacritical marks and by syllabication.
. A wagon box is 2 ft. deep, 10 feet long, and 3 ft. wide. How many bushels of wheat will it hold?


Into knowledge of 'how to use a computer', 'how to word process a document', 'how to spell check' and 'how to use a search engine.'

She may not be smart (she might be about some things) but she seems like a very nice person.

For me, that counts a lot in her favor.
She might be a very useful person too.

Brains ain't everything.
