Your stupid is showing

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7145394?MSNHPHMAI'm sorry, but even if what this guy writes is even half true, he comes across sounding like a complete jerk. For one thing, I don't appreciate ANYONE who visits our state with a bunch of preconceived notions in his/her pretty, little head. Contrary to what he would have us believe, a lot of ( Read more... )

Is he serious? What a dumbass.

Did he reply to the Fox "Now Hiring Losers" billboard?

Yes, all of Lexington should be judged by the last call time at a local sports bar. Granted, I'm not exactly proud of my pseudo-southern heritage. My accent couldn't be more mid-western. Still, I'm freakin' offended! Oh right, he actually encountered someone selling moonshine off the back of a truck in GEORGETOWN?? On his initial visit? How likely do you honestly believe this is? Not bloody likely at all.

I grow very tired of these cultural stereotypes and find myself cringing when we're so poorly represented in the media. When some jackass sportswriter starts blatantly lying about the locals to pad his shitty column, them's fightin' words!

I do wish people would be more careful with spelling and grammar, especially on signs and the like. And I totally agree that our liquor laws are stupid, but judging a whole place on that is like judging NYC for, I don't know, rent control.

But I am calling total, 100%, unladen bullshit on the guy selling shine out of his truck. I've lived here for 28 of my 31 years, 20 of which were in one-horse towns that make Georgetown look like freakin' Cambridge, and I have never even once seen someone selling moonshine out in the open.

As for the alleged bootlegger, I'd equate him to a complete fucking fabrication. I'd be more likely to believe dude was accosted by a prostitute who tried to forcibly unzip his pants on a street corner in the middle of the afternoon.

Also, call me an uptight prude, but I don't think someone who makes a fuss about not being served three drinks to finish in 30 minutes really has the attitude toward alcohol the rest of us should be basing our public policy on. And has the man really, truly, honestly unfamiliar with the concept of overserving a customer? Is he really unaware that serving someone that much alcohol in that short a time puts pretty much anyone above the legal limit to drive, leaving the restaurant liable for anyone the customer then maims or kills?

Also also, I think it's really horribly sad that people are ashamed of their accent. Lord knows the obnoxious loudmouth from New Yawk isn't ashamed of his ridiculous-sounding accent. The only reason I can think of to be ashamed of my accent would be that it makes bigoted ( ... )
