This from the guy who just last week was painting the entire state of Alabama/The Ozarks as "Deliverance-y."

You've posted a variation of this theme quite a bit on this post, and I find it interesting that, as a consumer, you're taking so personally an article that primarily chastises the companies producing these products.

"Who the fuck hangs dirty washing on a line anyway?"

You're kidding, right?

I am mesmerized by this. Have you shown Taylor? Somebody show Taylor!

"The actors and actress you see in top billing, what do they all have in common?"

"Likewise, no one is under the impression that, I don't know, Cherokee people did all this lynching."

Not only that, but most hospitality riders are "fluid" when it comes to one-off, non-trad gigs like at a college.

My sister has a Pitt/Dachs mix, but she just looks like a really 'roided-out weiner dog - no Pitt face, but can gladly give you a tour of the gun show.
