Things we want to go away in 2014

[rkunsaw]

Well said Katy and it does give people a terrible impression of our Southerners.

I'm sure not all of you folks are toothless inbred rednecks who can barely string enough words together to make a coherent sentence.

I agree Katybug and Old Hipster. I have always lived in the south and I've been in every state in the south. Sure we talk different but we don't talk like the idiots they put on TV. Paula Deen is one I can't stand to listen to. She doesn't talk like a southerner, she talks like a Yankee making fun of southerners.

The original swamp people series where they were hunting alligators were what I would call normal southerners. Most of us don't hunt alligators but these were real people with normal speech for their area. I liked the show

But then they came up with this Shelby character. What an idiot. He is not a normal southerner , hell he's not a normal human.
Now it these religious koolaid drinkers on duck dynasty. I hate to turn on the TV, they are everywhere.

Back attacha, RK, I totally agree. I haven't watched the "guy shows" you mention, but have seen their ads. They make furious with the image of southerners they project! And just because we may talk slower doesn't mean we're thinking slowly...altho in the last couple years that has been the case for me. But so would it be for the seniors other than southerners as well!

Female news journalist, morning show talk hosts and op-ed show host wearing sleeveless, low cut, very short cocktail dresses, and five inch heels with platform soles.

I kinda like 'em. 'Course not listening to a word they say . . .

I might overlook it too if they supplied me with good looking, masculine hunks that weren't wimpy metrosexual looking

Televised football shows
Repeats of reapeats of tv shows,and fireworks,we have them in our area just about every weekend even though they are illegal here,our poor dog is almost a mental case from being scared out of her wits,even though she is kept inside,
I think fireworks should be banned and laser light displays used instead.
Hoons on the roads.

katybug hoons are irresponsible drivers,who do burnouts and doughnuts on the roads and put other drivers lives at risk.

Thx, Nan. Impossible to do such a thing here or even close to the city limits. One less thing to worry about for us, but larger cities have their own set of problems and then some for sure.

To continue the list --

Women on TV who have the annoying habit of tucking their long hair behind their ears to supposedly keep it out of their face or do something with their hands -- Don't they make hairpins/clips anymore?

One thing that thankfully WILL go away are the temporary fill-in TV hosts, while the normal boofheads are on holiday, who have no idea what they are telling us and are probably told keep smiling (and wear skimpy clothing referred to earlier) so we viewing fools wont notice mispronounced words and IQ's to match their shoe size.
