So Lauren Caitlin's train of thought was yet to board the station when she was asked that famous question about *US Americans* and maps. (Aside, that was a dumb question to ask on a beauty pageant. Aside aside, beauty pageants have lost perspective. Aside aside aside, this post is not about beauty pageants.).
But what I really liked about her was the fact that she appeared on national television, on the Today Show and gave a nice explanation about the *pageant incident*, the repercussions of which made it last week's most-watched-video-on-YouTube.
Was it effective damage control? I don't know about that. But I really admire her comeback. And the self esteem and confidence that came along with it.

Oh, she's so riding that clip to fame, its not even funny! And her strategy was just right - find THE most annoying anchor on TV i.e. Ann Curry and give an interview.
Cool clip...But as you said good rebuttal
Ha ha Amrita, I see your point. :) Nevertheless, I admire the part where she chose to go public rather than go underground with the whole fiasco.
I thought I will put up a trackback on your blog post with this one, but I had no clue what to do. Tah dah duh duh! :)
Kartik - Heh heh, I thought people should see this clip too, apart from the one where she actually used the phrase - "everywhere like such as". :D
oh, i'll put in an update :) wordpress trackbacks work a bit differently as in they appear in the comment section rather than as separate trackbacks even though the linking process is the same.
