Who knew? It was fun for a couple of days I suppose, but Lauren Caitlin Upton's blip on the viral video radar seems to have been extended for another 15 minutes of fame-- to many people's dismay.
Apparently, someone over at People magazine really likes this girl and her tongue-in-cheek appreciation for all things geography. (Herein I submit my plea to the media Powers That Be: please just mercifully let her go away...)
... but read Scarlett Cinema regardless, the world of viral video has been taken by storm by Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton's astoundingly addle-brained, unbelievably vapid, and cry-worthy answer to the question, "Why do you think a fifth of the nation polled is unable to locate the United States on a world map?"
WARNING: This really might make your head explode. (Although watching Mario Lopez's smug expression as he holds the mic out for her is pretty hilarious.)
Ah, the 1950s, when men were clumsy in the kitchen and women found relief in a sheet of Saran Wrap. I dare say they were simpler times? Fast-forward to about 17:20 on the counter if you're crunched for time; in the next scene baby clothes get packed in plastic wrap. Cover the earth!
