Lauren Caitlin Upton of Lexington unintentionally has made herself a viral video star not for placing third runner-up in the pageant, but because of her response during the question-and-answer portion of the competition.
Web sites as big as TMZ.com and as small as personal blogs were posting video of her attempt at explaining why Americans can’t locate the United States on a map.

One Web site calls Upton’s answer (which included a lot of likes, ums and such-ases, but no point) “a spew of half-English gibberish,” and “a must-see case study in stupidity, confusion, and panic.”
Check it out for yourself at www.youtube.com. One posting had more than 32,000 views Monday night.

It’s the most uncomfortable 30 seconds of TV in history.

I was wondering where my pet went. He escaped from his cage a week ago. Guess he fine tuned his powers a bit since then. Someone must have told him no for him to do that, either that or beat him at chest.

I could have told you that after someone in the family got one of my nephews one and it didn't stay in the slinky shape very long.

COLUMBIA, S.C. --This time, the question was a little easier for Miss Teen South Carolina. After being stumped by a Miss Teen USA pageant question on live television Friday night, Lauren Caitlin Upton's confused, mangled response has been drawing a lot of attention.

The 18-year-old got a chance to redeem herself Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show when she was again asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map.

"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."

That was much better than her previous response, which included "U.S. Americans" and mentions of South Africa and "the Iraq."

A YouTube video of Upton has drawn a couple million hits and thousands of comments, many of them with harsh remarks for the Lexington High School graduate who plans to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.

Upton was taking her flubbed answer -- and the attention -- in stride.

"Everything did come at me at once. I was overwhelmed and I made a mistake. Everybody makes a mistake. I'm human," she said Tuesday. "I seriously think I only heard about one or two words of the actual question."

Upton's former principal Creig Tyler remembered her as a well-rounded student.

"She took college-prep and honors courses and performed well," Tyler told The (Columbia) State newspaper.

Miss Teen Colorado Hilary Carol Cruz won the crown. Upton was third runner-
