Um, you all do realize that this is a joke, right? Did you notice the hairstyles? Do you really think these are Miss America contenders? LOL!

Please, please, please, I implore people:

Verify and differentiate between spoof videos and real issues before posting.

No wonder there are so many angry, misinformed people out there.

Gah!

Jimmy Kimmel is pretty much known for comedy.

Now here's the biggest single issue I have with internet information and bogus outrage emails right here.

People take this stuff seriously and post without fact checking first.

That was one of the funniest spoofs I've ever seen.

And some of the responses were funnier than the video.

The comments that indicate the spoof video was in fact a real video.

I can't tell you how many times people have sent me 'outrage' emails/videos about something that was lifted almost verbatim from some satire website, and taken as the truth - complete with some "Can you believe these bozos, why do we put them in office?" or "This is what you get when you let libs run the country!" etc. comments.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure why you linked Jimmy Kimmel's bio is all.

Because that is Jimmy Kimmel (is it not? It's blurry) at the beginning of the video he/she posted, and that segment appears to be from his (satirical) show.

Yea, it's him. I'm sorry for being slow on the uptake, but I believe the point of the vid was the Ms SC girl rather than Kimmel. Or, are you saying that the whole Ms SC is a spoof?
