[hawkburn]

Yeh.... ummm excuse me, I'm from Texas, and I dont find this funny, I'll tell you one thing, we all have indoor restrooms.

We are not hicks. Except for the farmers. I live in a big city. Not San Antonio.


Have a spactacular f%*@(ing day, THAT WAS NOT FUNNY.

[MusikBeatz23]

I live in West Virginia, we are not all hicks either. But we have the same image problem, everybody thinks that we are. But without the ability to laugh at yourself, you miss out on a lot. I did not intend to offend anybody. I laughed at this until I cuold barely see.

i had to laugh at it... i mean, yes, its stupid... but my uncle, he lives in texas. he does the perfect stereotype voice and actions of a retarded redneck cowboy texan type guy. all this reminded me of something he would say.

he's a funny man.

[DainBramaged]

That was actually mildly amusing. All in good fun, eh?

[crackerjacker]

Exactly!! West Virginians have a tendency to speak like that and I live in WV. Sorry for any offense that was taken. None was intended.

[tons of fun]

Tee..tee.tee.........

heeeeeee.................heeeeeeeee............... heeeeeeeeee.........

Aww come on, it was a joke.

Do you really feel the need to take it so seriously? Yes, its not accurate. That is part of what makes it funny. Its simply playing on a stereotype. I remember reading a few stereotypes about my area before, and it didn't bother me.

Oh well, humor is dead for you I guess.

[wonderboy2005]

i have an uncle who lives in texas... he lives better than we do... a lot better. sterotypes are stereotypes. thats what makes them funny. anyone with multiple brain cells can realize that not EVERYONE is like that. im sure most of you have seen the movie "fargo"... that annoyed the hell out of me. NO ONE in minnesota talks like that. my point is, its all a joke. take it as one.

[chipperrox]

true
me and my friend have asian vs jewish racist remarks contests all the time
its all taken in good fun of course and thats what makes it so much fun
stereotypes are great, now il get back to my deli or law firm, and il go visit my friend in his nail salon...or laundromat
