		<description>I had no idea rednecks and hicks had some horrible ADD.

I got dizzy towards the end of that. But lots of fabulous imagery to digest now. Why do I have a sudden powerful craving for cheap beer, a broken pickup truck for my three dogs to stand on and bark and some fatback?

Damn, there must have been some subliminal imagery in there.</description>

		<description>Really close to the end, there is a &quot;Last Supper&quot; scene with Jesus and the boys enjoying Marlboros and Wild Turkey. Magnificent! 

(I just sent this to all my hillbilly friends. Yes, we have email now.)</description>

		<description>There will be some people who will soon say in this thread that &quot;Oh, picking on the Southern people again. Fuh-nee. Reverse racism!&quot; 

But, I just sent this to the biggest, most stereotypical redneck I know and his reply was, &quot;Fuck yeah!&quot; So...there&apos;s that.</description>

		<description>I&apos;d recommend &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; watching it frame-by-frame.  I got a quarter of the way through and was overwhelmed by a disturbing sense of the disconnect between Nascar America and Sex In The City America.</description>

		<description>Still doing the via thing huh.

On first glance it appears to be a creative (as in agency,  firm, etc) invite to a company promotional BBQ.   So the theming is great and all and it&apos;s quite a chuckle.   I just wish they kept to the initial theme -- the first 10 seconds or so all build up great and this could be a showcase of off the wall pictures in a southern theme,  but then it goes in and references pop culture (ok,  if it&apos;s a tv creative I can see a point here), then dips into the whole holier-than-thou thing with several Bush (thus anti-Bush by association) and pop culture references.   In short I think it washes itself out instead of remaining truly poignant and neat.    Still a good time,  tho..</description>

		<description>Hit submit too fast,  Went back and rewatched and it&apos;s really the first 45 seconds that are a gem.   Every verse has a theme and it&apos;s pretty neat.  It&apos;s when Deliverance really kicks in that they just start throwing Britney, Bush, etc, in..  owel.  What am I harping about,  it&apos;s a Portland creative company promo and not a work of art.   (Sounds of Portland creative dir crying somewhere)</description>

		<description>This is a collection of poor quality images of rednecks, mulletheads, and other broke-*ss middle Americans advancing to the beat of a banjo.

Sorry, but I don&apos;t see what&apos;s so funny about a photo montage of everyday Republicans. It just creeps me out.

In the future, if you&apos;re going to post something like this, please also post links to information on how to apply for citizenship in the EU, just to keep some hope alive. Thanks.</description>

		<description>cavalier, I totally see your point, but remember, when the images start coming fast &amp;amp; furious, it&apos;d require a tremendous number of perfectly themed graphics to keep the trend going.  At that point it just becomes a crazy pastiche and what few images linger (bush/cheney hat, girls w/guns) are maybe not as perfectly chosen, but I&apos;m okay with the sudden qty overload; it mirrors the crazy breakdown in the song.</description>

		<description>It&apos;s official: 

Poor (White) people are hilarious. Bonus if they&apos;re Xtian.

Can we get some video feed of some &quot;Niggers&quot; worshipin&apos; the Lawd while eating hog intestines and dribbling basketballs to the music of Al Jolson, STAT?

&lt;em&gt;Almost all humour is picking on somebody&lt;/em&gt;

I&apos;d agree. Completely. But MeFites at large are abso-fuckin-lutely &lt;em&gt;notorious&lt;/em&gt; for being humorless when it comes to making light of any &lt;em&gt;non-white&lt;/em&gt; parties, and the words Racist, Homophobe &amp;amp; Misogynist are, often nonsensically, thrown around without a second thought. Try posting about, say, the pranks played on Nigerian email scammers and see how many call it &apos;Racist&apos;. Now that&apos;s comedy.

Wait--what am I saying... the video was funny.

		<description>davenhill, some of those people are probably democrats ... and it didn&apos;t strike me as quaint or funny, because there are people like that around where i live in michigan ... at work, they have a nascar pool ... and most of them hate bush

but i guess people would rather keep things simple than deal with a messy thing like reality ...</description>

		<description>That wasn&apos;t a video, it was a slide show in MOV form. And the images went by so fast I could barely form any opinion. How would I watch it frame-by-frame on Linux so I can know whether to be offended or not? (I did get the impression that some images I&apos;d object to and some I might even like.)</description>

Hell, noble Injuns should &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to be human mascots for football -- they &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/colleges/stanford/12345849.htm&quot;&gt;should be proud&lt;/a&gt;!

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Hell, noble Injuns should want to be human mascots for football&lt;/em&gt;   

Huh? Is there anywhere in this slideshow where someone says let&apos;s have a team called &quot;white trash?&quot;   It&apos;s just a bunch of funny photos mashed together w/o comment.   I doubt Native Americans think we&apos;re racist because photos were taken of them.</description>

		<description>I don&apos;t see them as being mocked for being Southerners (there&apos;s nothing especially Southern about redneckism, by the way, which a quick trip to rural Minnesota, with its fields of pickup trucks and mullets, will show) or for being poor (its not as though these were Depression-era photos; instead, quite a few of the photos display conspicuous consumption, and redneckism has quite a following in the Middle Class). If anything, the video mocks white trash for being so tasteless. But anything that also includes images of the glorious Dolly Parton cannot entirely be about tastelessness.</description>

		<description>Some of the images are pretty awesome. That said, it&apos;s &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; just a collection of pictures- it&apos;s set to &lt;i&gt;the theme from Deliverance&lt;/i&gt;. And it just keeps going... and going... and oh, there&apos;s Bush again...

&lt;i&gt;It&apos;s just a bunch of funny photos mashed together w/o comment. I doubt Native Americans think we&apos;re racist because photos were taken of them.&lt;/i&gt;

They might if you set them to, say, the theme from &lt;i&gt;Pocahantas&lt;/i&gt;.

This thing could have been about 12 frames and really funny. Instead, it just drags into lame &quot;point-and-laugh&quot; elitism.

Fatback is awesome.</description>

		<description>I still don&apos;t get how picking on &quot;white trash&quot; or &quot;rednecks&quot; could be considered racist.  The only thing seperating them from the rest of the white population is the culture a person chooses.  Yes there certainly is somewhat class/culture struggle here, but I wouldn&apos;t consider it a race issue.  So I don&apos;t think the &quot;nigger&quot; or &quot;indian&quot; comparisons are apropo.</description>

		<description>Down here in New Orleans, you would think that &quot;I&apos;m a Soul Man&quot; was the theme to the south. At least, its what every crappy bar band on Bourbon Street plays continually, only occasionally interrupting themselves to play a Janis Joplin tune.</description>

		<description>I don&apos;t know where anyone got the idea this was strictly about the South. I saw snow, an Iowa license plate, a Minnesota website, an elk and a moose. Rednecks are everywhere. These scene are as likely to occur in Ohio, Illinois, Indian, Michigan, etc. as anywhere else. Or, for that matter, upstate NY.</description>

(Plus anyone who has ever lived in not one but two trailers in his or her life (as I have) is entitled to poke a little fun -- and it&apos;s not about the income, it&apos;s about the attitude.)</description>

		<description>I had two uncles named Bud. Good times.

Seriously, I noticed that many of the photos were of people in redneck costume... but probably 70% were the real thing. Both were equally funny. There needed to be a photo of ambrosia salad included though.</description>

		<description>This isn&apos;t offensive; it&apos;s just trite. Do redneck jokes ever get old? Using the breakdown from &lt;i&gt;Deliverance&lt;/i&gt; to conjure the country exotic might have been funny 30-years-ago, back when the kernels of Jeff Foxworthy&apos;s routine were ripening in &lt;i&gt;Hee Haw&apos;s&lt;/i&gt; cornfield and blackface routines could still be seen in Hollywood movies (&lt;a href=&quot;http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20050804%2FREVIEWS%2F50725002%2F1023&amp;AID1=%2F20050804%2FREVIEWS%2F50725002%2F1023&amp;AID2=&quot;&gt;oh, wait&lt;/a&gt;).

It is my judgment that you will all be absolved of this guilty pleasure if you see the movie &lt;i&gt;Junebug.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>it&apos;s outrageous ... i went to the kalamazoo county fair today and they had two different girls singing &quot;redneck girl&quot; at the kareoke contest ...

why i bet even the 4-h chickens and pigs were offended by that

they even had horse shit on the driveways

y&apos;all should go over there and raise their consciousness or something ... they&apos;re exploiting themselves ruthlessly with that exhibition of theirs

i even saw a few bush bumper stickers and two mormon missionaries ... it&apos;s a den of shameless mockery of country people ... someone should do something</description>

		<description>Bumpkin, they live in Newfoundland.  On the road to L&apos;anseaux Meadows, I once witnessed with my own eyes some newfies hunting moose from the back of a slowly moving pickup truck.  (And no, that&apos;s not from the J. Peterman catalogue.)</description>

		<description>Redneckism seems to spring up in almost any rural environment &#8212; but often surprisingly close to an urban environment, including near-suburbs. I&apos;ve seen mulletheads with pickup trucks and baseball caps throwing barbeques of meat they hunted in rural Louisiana and suburban Nebraska that were indistinguishable from each other. Many of them were firmly middle class as well. Of course, Northern rednecks tend to steer clear of the whole &quot;South will rise again&quot; thing, but they have their own issues.</description>

		<description>Toecutter, was that a typo?  You wrote:
&amp;gt;If you don&apos;t think jokes about rednecks are funny, you might be a redneck.

I think you meant &quot;you aren&apos;t&quot; there.

My cousin called my dad Unc&apos;l Bubba as long as he lived, and nobody thought it odd, if that helps frame this.

Do you know why rednecks have sloping shoulders and slanting foreheads, by the way?  (I always brought this one out when someone &apos;round home started in on &apos;coon&apos; jokes).

You ask&apos;em a question, and  (shrug)
You tell&apos;em the answer, and (sound of one hand clapping forehead).

I never had even a serious racist get angry with me when I told that joke -- a double take, a moment&apos;s grace note, and a nod and an &quot;I get ya&quot; was the usual answer, before the race-baiting stopped.

Y&apos;all have fun now.</description>

		<description>Where I grew up, a mullet was a type of fish, not a hairstyle, though if you were to go to the annual Mullet Festival you&apos;d see both types in abundance.  Those in attendance were known as boggies, which makes me at least part-boggy.

And Britney Spears I can see in there, but Dolly Parton?  Dolly is a classy, wonderful lady, not the sort of woman I&apos;d put next to a deer anus.</description>

		<description>I think it would have been more humorous if the song had been &quot;Smells Like Teen Spirit&quot; and it included photoshopped pictures of Kurt Cobain and a shotgun and Courtney Love flashing her breasts. Damn if ennui and depression doesn&apos;t make me chuckle. Oh, and lots of flannel. Flannel kills me.</description>

		<description>2 bets I&apos;d like to make, 1. the people who made the movie love NASCAR and BBQ&apos;s, 2. The people who think this is offensive also find rap music offensive because it perpetuates &quot;Bad&quot; stereotypes about black people.

Anyway, I thought the funniest part was this sign.
