The north of America is populated by people who're as regular as you see on tv shows like ER, Friends, etc, whereas the south is inhabited by hicks who enjoy to fornicate with their relatives.
Am I offended by a cartoon character? As long as it doesn't make fun of the prophet that my religion centres around then I'm fine with it, guys. | |
