A co-worker of mine just returned from a cruise to the Mexican Riviera via Norwegian cruises. So as he was relating his experiences in Ixtapa, our dear sweet student worker from Kentucky asked in all seriousness, "Is that in Norwegia?"
Well, she did walk in in the middle of his story...

I saw that clip yesterday - she made it to a Swedish newspaper because of her ignorance - and I thought about posting it, but didn't. It was almost unbelievable how little she knew, but she took the whole thing pretty well, I think.

I'd love to know what questions she answered correctly to get up to $10,000.
I don't know how that game is played, but judging by the clips I've seen, it seems the 5th grade kids answered correctly on her behalf. That's something to be proud of!

Is this girl a famous person?
She's a past "American Idol" contestant and current country music singer. I've never heard her sing though, so I can't really advise her whether she should or shouldn't quit her day job.
Good God Almighty! Can this girl be any stupider?????
Kellie Picker ("American Idol") on lame US game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Wow, this just shows the ignorance and general stupidity of some people today...what a sad period for humanity... _________________ Currently learning:
