In Oklahoma, we spit out Miss Americas almost as much as we do country music singers and porn stars. Well, we nearly had another one.
In case you have a life and slept through it, the Miss America Pageant took place on Saturday night. Our very own ridiculously hot Miss Oklahoma, Betty Thompson, was the first runner-up and probably would have won the thing if didn't give a superficial tea party-inspired response to a question on whether or not the government should "weigh in on what we feed our kids."
Here's what she said:
"I believe that parents should be the ones who are teaching their children how to eat and then it wouldn't be the government's responsibility to step in."
Yeah, it should totally be the parent's responsibility to teach their children "how to eat." You know, because parents, especially ones in Oklahoma, make such wise decisions when it comes to food choices. That's why so many of them they are all healthy, skinny and never suffer from diabetes. If you need proof of this, just go observe any McDonald's inside a Super Wal-Mart.
