Miss USA 2011 — Should Math Be Taught In Schools?

Thanks to @digitalnative for the reference to this.  It’s a keeper.  I hope that it’s a collection of clips taken out of context but I know people who would agree to parts of it.

    It’s a response (read: parody) to the recent Miss USA pageant. In this year’s pageant, there was a question that asked about evolution and whether it should be taught in schools.

    See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkBmhM0R2A0 for the 100% real responses to that question.

    The fact that so many contestants answered so stupidly led to this parody.

    With parodies like this, it is no wonder that every political candidate that is female of any party gets trashed.
