No Joe Pesci?

When your base is uneducated voters, I guess it makes sense to appoint a secretary that will ensure there are as many of them as possible.

But how do we ship them with names that similar?

Maybe. I don't know anything about Basildon or Paterson beyond what I just looked up online. Paterson used to be called "Silk City", but apparently the closest equivalents to that in England are Stockport, Macclesfield, and Congleton none of which are in Essex. I also saw something about more people swimming in…

Publius Terentius Afer is probably the most famous, but I don't know how easy his stuff is to watch.

Have you considered that maybe your parents only liked shitty country music?

But will space Michelle Yeoh land her space motorcycle on a space train?

The Boswell Sisters are better (and they made a song urging a cow to give milk: "come on do your bit/don't be a Bolshevik").

I don't know.

It's apparently somewhat common. I've seen articles about it.

Wow. That is the sweetest story!

But how would it work if set in Paterson, Essex instead?

About 1-2% of the world's population has red hair (bumped up to 2-6% for the U.S.).
Ditto green eyes as SBT said.

Duck Dynasty plays into already existing stereotypes about the South that aren't specific to Louisiana or all that new. So I don't know that it has colored people's assumptions that much or just confirmed them in what they already thought.

Just the normal, apocalyptic, this-show-signals-the-death-of-Western-civilization type stuff, I think, which seems quaint now after the way this year has gone.

If King George had just kept his cat off the Colonies' car, none of this would have happened.

Isn't there even a vaguely Jersey Shore-like tv show? I've heard complaints about TOWIE along similar lines, but I've never seen it or Jersey Shore.

There's not much to see outside of a few antebellum homes, perhaps. Historically, the areas outside of New Orleans and Acadiana were settled by much the same people as the rest of the South: anglophone Protestants and mostly after the colonial period (1803 for most of the state, 1810 for the Florida parishes). Later…

Well I don't want to make it sound like states should be culturally homogeneous or anything, but Florida has groups that are different enough that is difficult to predict how they'll vote in a statewide election.

The grass is always greener in the pasture you might possibly be able to buy if you throw millions of dollars at it and transfer it into an entirely new environment without possibly knowing how it will fare or which whatever-the-grass-equivalent-of-coordinators-are it will be able to convince to come along with it, as…
