I turned on the TV to the public access station just on accident, and there is the Kimitsu Gakuen Middle School English Speech Contest on right now. Does it make me a terrible person, especially as an English teacher, that I'm watching this and laughing uncontrollably? I realize that some of these speeches are actually pretty good for middle schoolers, but there is still something hilarious about it. There was a cross-eyed kid earlier talking about how he wants to be a pediatrician, and right now there is a girl who sounds like she has almost a southern accent.
OK, yeah, this is still hilarious. All the kids are using ridiculous gestures as well, which makes it almost impossible not to laugh. Oh man and the girl talking right now decided to throw in a different voice for her quotes. Bahahaha...
