It would be chuckle worthy if it wasn't in every single article Jez writes about anyone who has a remotely southern accent. And if you haven't been the subject of these kinds of jokes all your life. And if you haven't seen how those impoverished people with no dental care or educated live like. It's not funny and be…

I'd like everyone who doesn't understand why making fun of "rednecks" who are "born into deep poverty in remote rural areas with little or no access to decent education, basic dental care, or anything like diversity or broad-minded thinking" to watch this documentary and see if you can still laugh at the living…
I felt that Houston's story she regretted that her daughter was embarrassed by her career but she didn't seem to explicitly say she hated it? I probably need to re watch it again. But also two of the male actors seemed to not have horrible experiences in porn, but rather just hated what it sometimes did to their love…
Ahaha, you must be new here if you think this tone and condescension isn't normal! You should have been around when Paula Deen decided to show her ass. Don't worry. You will learn.
Because rural poverty — especially in the Appalachia region — is sooooo funny. I mean look at all of those kids who grow up with drug addicted or alcoholic parents who don't even have legal birth records who can't attend school and have rotting teeth and don't even know where their next meal is coming from.
It seems like the general rule, for me at least, is that I am allowed to shit on where I am from, but everyone else is not! haha
My lesbian sister is the most redneck-ish person I know. It's almost vomit inducing some of the things she does, but she still labels herself as a redneck and obviously doesn't share the same views as this guy, and she's tired of people thinking she does (or that somehow redneck and lesbian lifestyles can't possibly…
I get what you mean, and that's what I always thought when I heard that term. I always thought it was implying that white people were by nature on a higher standing, and that the "trash" were people of color — and that "white trash" meant you were "reduced to their level".
My family is from the foothills of the Appalachia region of Tennessee, and god if people just knew how some of those people live... they wouldn't think it was so cute to poke fun at them. I saw first hand the state of living a lot of these people are forced in to, and it is nothing short of heartbreaking. And worse is…
Every now and then a little "y'all" slips or I say "let me get situated" which turns in to sounding like "let me get sit-chee-ated" or other little quirks that I forget to hide and the people around me at work or roommates squeel with delight and ask me to "do it again! say something else!" like it's some kind of show…
AUUGHHHH MY BOYFRIEND'S PARENTS DID THE SAME TO ME!!
Are you kidding me? Southern ladies are THE most high maintenance. My family thought I was a lesbian because I didn't wear skirts or makeup or pile my hair up with hairspray in to a poof two feet above my head. And then the sister who did do all those things ended up being the lesbian. I'm pretty sure they based…
Jez I thought we had come to an agreement on this shit. There are shitty people from all walks of life, but I can assure you having been born and bred in the south (Atlanta to Alcoa Tennessee, so both urban and rural south) and now living in Chicago, deep seated religious homophobia and shitty racism from questionably…
I just watched "After Porn Ends", a fantastic documentary (up for streaming on netflix right now, too!) and Houston, one of porn's most prolific stars, did the Houston 500 event — which was where she fucked 500 (upped to 620 by the end of it) men consecutively. It was really fascinating so I looked up the film and…
"Wait, you mean not all women enjoy regular old vanilla sex like I do?! Consenting women can't have sex that I don't like! DEGRADATION."
The amount of hate that half of Jezebel has for this guy delights me so. I love this guy, he cracks me up. You keep doing you, James.
