Miss Teen Jabberwocky

There haven't been so many nonsensical phrases and words since Lewis Carol's Jabberwocky. Not having enough maps is such a problem...what?! "The Iraq and the Asian Countries" - The Iraq?! And of course, her use of "such as" is beyond words. I haven't laughed so hard.


JABBERWOCKY
(one stanza from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Dang, you're so clever. Lalalalove it. Poor girl, her life will never be the same.

Poor girl - perhaps next year the question will be about American kids and their lack of knowledge of the English language!

i saw her 'rebuttal' on the today show this morning and was dying to see the real clip--i'm so glad you posted it!! i kind of feel bad for her. i wonder what mario lopez was thinking and how hard it was for him to keep a straight face.

Megan said...

Wow, just wow. Mario totally wanted to bust out laughing. That's tough situation, but some of the things that come out of their mouths on that stage are unbelievable!

"Hi, I'm beautiful but stupid."
Guess looks REALLY aren't everything!
I only somewhat feel sorry for her... is that bad?

I saw this a couple days ago and have been replaying it ever since. Too funny and actually quite painful to watch.

I would love to hear what she had to say on the today show. Was she coherent then?

Did you catch the "for our children" that trailed out at the end of her statement? hilarious. I swear she would have added a "world peace" bit had Mario not done her a huge favor and removed the microphone!
