Diversions - Miss Teen USA Contestant From South Carolina Tells It Like It Is

While I was researching some finance related topics for my blog, I saw this on TV. Okay, I know this clip has absolutely nothing to do with making money or saving money, but I just had to post it. Poor thing..I'm sure she's hiding in her room right now..but it's just too funny.

Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. Fans also sent over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters, in reference to a scene from the season one finale where the main character repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastongne during World War II.

I was in awe at how effective and potent the internet could be as a vessel for change. Sites such as NutsOnline.com recognized the opportunity and allowed users to pool their individual purchases for nuts and combine them for a larger delivery to CBS headquarters that would make a greater statement. CBS was genuinely surprised and in response to the outpouring of support, announced that Jericho would be returning back to the air the
