As much as we all cherish the thought of Ernest as asexual, the unfortunate truth is that he was probably very alluring to certain varieties of female trailer trash who prefer idiot man-children. And while I hardly picture him exploiting that allure and becoming the Dos Equis guy of Appalachia, I can easily imagine…
