Another Anachronism - The Spelling Bee

Can you imagine interviewing someone for a job and the person telling you, "I should be hired for this job because I won the regional spelling bee in Pisswater USA back in 2007."
Fuck - why waste hours and hours a day on spelling shit when the fucking computer spell checks everything anyway?
Yet, it gets more press than ever - idiotic.

Actually, the ability to spell is a pretty good measure of intelligence. If I knew a potential hire won a high-level spelling bee, I would be interested.

The only time I even remember they exist is when the news carries the item and everyone has a look on their face like something important has happened, when in fact computers are more useful for that job.
