With the ubiquity of the internet now an obscure person can put up a video on YouTube and become instantly famous the world over. Of course on YouTube you might become famous for how stupid you are, like Miss Teen South Carolina. For those of you who don’t know, Miss Teen SC was one of the five finalists in the Miss Teen USA pageant and in her final interview she totally blew it and came across as a complete idiot.
