“I THINK when you down the women can make you up, and I think the women can be said that ‘I have advice for you’ if you way up, you have to be nice with people, include women, so when you down, women can be nice with you.”
Can you make head or tail out of it? Well, this was the answer given by Miss Indonesia, Qory Sandioriva, during the preliminary rounds of the Miss Universe 2010 pageant held in Las Vegas.
Miss Indonesia’s answer came when the interviewer asked her what was the best advice she could give to a man. A video of her answering interview questions in broken English was posted in the video-sharing website YouTube. It garnered more than 23,000 views after it was posted on Aug 15, Jakarta Post reported.
It has also been circulated on Facebook and drew many comments, with the majority critical of her attempts to speak English. Her answer invited many reactions from YouTube users. A user, Nanieshimasu, said that Sandioriva’s poor performance has “once again shown that Indonesia has failed to select a qualified candidate”.
But some Internet users still feel that Sandioriva has done her best to impress the judges. “Show some support, English is not our mother tongue, bear with her,” an anonymous YouTube user wrote. Radio announcer Silfia Ahmad said that her poor English was the least of her problems.
“Qory went on and on about her bad experience of dating a guy with many girlfriends, that’s not proper.” She is not the first Indonesian beauty queen to stumble over her words on the global stage.
Three years ago, Miss Indonesia Nadine Chandrawinata’s comment became a punch line when she said “Indonesia is a beautiful city” during an interview at the Miss Universe pageant.

3. complete absence of condoms;
4. hitherto no repeated attempts to claw air time, promoting stupidity.
what's so difficult to decipher "I THINK when you down the women can make you up."?
use your head to think!! i hadn't enunciated "use your brain to think" principally because the head i referred to contains blood vessels, not brain matter. :D:D:D:D
