Comment on Why I Won’t Buy Oreo Fudge Cremes by Mar

I cannot believe this blog is serious. You are payhrtic and really need to lighten up. Your poor children must live under tight scrutiny and a strict regimen. I get trying to keep children from using and hearing profanity, but you are blatanly exaggerating. It’s a funny, light-hearted commercial. Grow up and look at the world around you, is this really something to take so seriously? Really?! Wake up and smell the coffee honey, if you stay under that rock you live under for the rest of your life you are going to miss out on reality.

lol. i’m in the process of recordin’ a country song i wrote called “redneck spell check” - after readin’ the lyrics, you may find it hard to believe i won a spelling bee in grade school. i also studied opera & vocal performance in college on music scholarship. recon ya can take the girl outta tha country, but cha can’t take the country outta the girl! i do still think spellin’ oughta be taught in schools cuz there may be times when ya don’t have computer access an’ it may be necessary to write somethin’ intellegent-like however.

-Redneck Spell Check-

I heared yer gittin’ tard a’ me,

an’ use tha redneck spell check!

Use tha redneck spell check-
it makes thangs easier ta read!

an’ you wanna be my frin’-
jus click tha redneck spell check
ba’fore ya press SEND!
Jus click tha redneck spell check

Tha mic’er’waves a tricky thang,
so I hate ta see ya go-
cuz ya never burnt tha popcorn,
or gave me gummy pizza dough!
I know tha tears will fall,
as i read yer good bye letter,
but if ya use tha redneck spell check-
i’ll understand tha whole thang better!

Use tha redneck spell check-
It makes thangs easier ta read!
It puts an N
on tha end
of ever word

Comment on Jay Leno Was Wrong About W.Va. — Again by The Enlightened Redneck » The Redneck Bigotry Of Bill Maher

[...] But the video on Maher’s show revived the same predictable redneck-bashing stereotypes that liberal elites have embraced for decades to malign people who don’t think like they do. You knew the video was going to be bad because Maher tried to rebut the inevitable outcry of Mississippians, other “real Americans in the South” and their conservative brethren before his producers even hit the play button. “She did not cherry-pick these people,” he insisted of video producer Alexandra Pelosi, the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “… We are not making fun of anybody. She did not seek out people who look like what some people would say rednecks [look like]. [...]
