Dumb answer leads to cool new site
By Martin English | September 20, 2007
Recently, a YouTube video of Miss South Carolina giving an incoherent answer during the Miss Teen USA pageant has been viewed nearly 9 million times. Asked why 1 in 5 Americans can’t locate the USA on a map, she essentially said we need more maps. And South Africa, and Iraq, such as. Or something.
But while you may have laughed, the folks at G4TV’s Attack of the Show took action. They created MapsforUs.org, a web blog dedicated to maps. Users can e-mail maps of pretty much anything, from their high school parking lot to Sparta, to the blast door map from the TV show Lost.
