You think "Jeff Foxworthy is dumb," so you clearly weren't poking fun at their idiosyncrasies like he does. That puts you in the Stephen Fowler camp, which means you didn't merely portray Florida rednecks as <i>different</i> from you. You portrayed them as <i>lesser</i> than Northerners like yourself who are like other types of entertainment and food and don't talk "funny."
