I find it hard to believe that a 5th of Americans cannot find the US on a map. How long do they get to look at this map before it is official that they could not locate the USA. If this is the case we should stop holding Miss whatever pageants and start airing map reading shows, now that would be reality
Let me also say that I don’t believe that statistic, either.
First if all, every world map I’ve EVER seen IN MY ENTIRE LIFE is labeled with the names of the countries on the map.
Second of all, who are these people who can’t find the US? Not only have I not met anyone who cannot find the US on a map… but I’ve also never met anyone who has met anyone who cannot find the US on a map. In fact… nobody I know has even HEARD OF anybody who either cannot find the US on a map, or who has heard of the existence of anyone who cannot find the US on a map!? You’d think if it was 20% at least ONE would surface somewhere?
Third, what the frig kind of question is that for a pageant? I hate those questions… you want some air-headed girl – in three sentences or less – to solve world hunger, promote peace on Earth, find a cure for cancer, and ultimately convert the entire planet’s population to committing only benevolent behavior?!?
