After watching the debaucle that is this poor girl trying to answer a question I immediately thought,"Gee, this girl is retarded." Was I little harsh? Probably. But, what I hadn't seen was her interview within the next couple of days on some morning talk shows.
Although the girl did not TOTALLY make me change my opinion I did realize that nerves can play a huge rule in giving an answer like the one she did. Personally, I think this girl does not represent any subculture or any type of cultural artifact. To that extent I will say that if someone from another country saw this video they may think that we are a bunch of nimwits running around with bowls on our heads. If this poor girl was to represent a subculture it would be the 'I get nervous and lose my train of thought in front of large groups of people' subculture.
I've spoken in public before in front of maybe five hundred people and I can tell you first hand that no matter how much you prepare, if you aren't completely comfortable then you will forget what you were going to say. With that being said, imagine having to be asked a random question and then answer the question in thirty seconds--not to mention make it all make sense (which she didn't do).
This girl doesn't represent a subculture, she represents memory loss.
