new "such as" revisited

[Laurence Horn]

In a current (and very weird) commercial for aol.com, someone
pretends to be Miss Teen South Carolina.  After wandering into a
convenience store she wonders "Is this the Iraq?" and then admits to
being lost and asks the clerk "Do you have such as a map?"   (See our
earlier discussion of the real-life Miss Teen S.C.'s "Everywhere like
such as...")
