Matt was right. Everybody hates!

Before delving into my blog, I implore you first to read this article.

For those of you too lazy to do so, I'll summarize. The article basically discusses how everybody shits on LA and how Angelinos are looked upon as vapid, soul-less cretins. For which part, most are. And I agree with a good deal of what the writer says. Except for one thing.

The way she talks, it's like LA is looked at as the bottom of America's societal barrel. The worst of the worst, the back of the short bus, the last kid picked for kick-ball. There's no one for our types left to pick on since everyone looks down on us.

Are you freaking kidding me? Have we forgotten about the Midwest???

The only thing Midwesterners are looked upon for favorably are strong work ethics, good crop production and the city of Chicago. Other than that, our folks in the forgotten area between coasts are looked at basically as red-state bumpkins who set the "middle America" curve and made Larry the Cable Guy famous. And also for providing a steady stream of morons into LA.

But as a representative and refugee from the Midwest, I'm here to say that we still have a group to make fun of while huddled drinking beer in our barns: Southerners. We still see them as slow, inbred hicks who are less socially enlightened than we are.

See! Everyone in America has a group they see as dumber-than-them! And while New Yorkers can defame us and our hippy-dippy attitudes, we can at least take solace in having a higher population of people than pigs. Suck it, Iowa!
