Did y'all see that show a couple of weeks ago about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader tryouts? As part of the "intellectual" (I use the term loosely) portion of the tryout a few of the girls were asked to discuss a current event. On girl could not come up with ANYTHING. They prompted her with "what have you seen on the news lately? On the front page of the paper?" Nothing. She just stood there like a deer in the headlights, and eventually said "Um, I can't think of anything." Unreal.
If you need to ask why I was watching said program you've missed the point.
