The one thing I took away from that Miss Utah business was that it's ludicrous to expect ANYONE to be able to provide a satisfactory answer to a multifaceted, yet bizarrely vague, question addressing a large social issue in the 12-second time frame allotted. I would have stood there aghast and finally said something like "How the hell am I supposed to answer THAT? World peace. Fuck you all" and stomped offstage.

One of the several reasons I am not Miss Utah, I guess.

That is a good point. I've seen the video going around various forums and I just feel so bad for her. It's an extremely complicated question, and it feels tailor made to humiliate the person trying to answer it.

I TOTALLY agree!

I don't really have strong feelings about these types of contests - but I have seen that clip and while she didn't exactly come off as *prepared* - I'm not sure what anyone could have come up with as a good answer in a quick snippet
