Lauren Caitlin Upton (born March 27, 1989) is best known for her incoherent response to a question during the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant.
Question:
“Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?”
Upton’s response:
“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our [children].”
