You had me at "fuck you"

For years, the Southern drawl of the American redneck was synonymous with poor-ass yokels, possibly because the biggest advertisements for it were a television show about joyriding cousin-shaggers and a movie about some city folk being delivered to some fine hoedown tunes (as far as I can remember, though I admit I only saw the first fifteen minutes or so before I fell asleep), but latterly it only seems to represent rich white folk on my tv.  I suppose whatever was wrong that made everyone in that bit of  America poor was fixed like they fixed Los Angeles.
