Jaunted

...don't forget about ignorant, too.  Before I became jaded with life, I moved from Seattle to Gainesville to have a fresh start on things; new place, new people, etc.  Before living there, I didn't consider Florida part of the 'dirty south' (thinking more along the lines of Miami... hot days and hot girls with hardly anything on), but after living there, I realized that its people are a direct mix of Atlanta and Texas.  Or, as I call it, stupid on way too many levels.  You're right about the women; they're absolutely gorgeous.  Unfortunately, the novelty wears out she says something really stupid... again.  Then she pukes on you and passes out.  Fun.

What else?  "Southern hospitality" is a fucking farce.  They're nice to your face, but talk shit behind your back.  Let's see...too many stereotypical black people, too many stereotypical old people, too many stereotypical Cubans/Mexicans and definitely too many retarded hicks.  

Concerning Fark, this mix seems to deliver an astounding number of unbelievable/retarded situations that are deemed newsworthy.  Trust me, that stuff just isn't normal.  Or right.  Which leads me to say...

Welcome to Florida, enjoy your stay...just don't stay too long or else you'll become stupid, too.

How can you possibly be mad at a credible news site for reporting events as they happen. Would you rather wait for people to visit for some drunk redneck to stab you with a samurai sword? I think that would put a bigger dent in tourism than telling people about what happens in a state. Maybe the problem is not from without, maye the problem is from within. Maybe Florida should stop spending so much money on advertising itself and start a deportation program. Take all the retarded hicks and old people and send them to somewhere far away. Or better yet take the money and build them an island. An island free from logic and reason. Maybe then the old people will kill the rednecks and the rednecks will kill the old people and all of your problems will be solved. Seriosly. Build an island and then sink it while it's filed with inbred trash and fruit stand murdering, senile seniors.

Okay, so Fark is single-handedly blamed for the fact that Florida is full of illegal aliens and rednecks, all with way too much time on their hands?!  Give me a break.  Truth be told, I like Florida.  I'm not going to base my vacation plans on what Fark says (even if I read it every day).  Just saying that implies that you think most people who would have vacationed in Florida are mouth-breathing bottom feeders.  Give vacationers and Fark fans a little more credit.  

...just a funny coincidence with the tourism stuff, that's all.  Actually the story was just an excuse to run that kick ass graphic we made.

"Would you rather wait for people to visit for some drunk redneck to stab you with a samurai sword?"

Hmm.  Tough call.  I think if the samurai sword incident was reported on Fark and then tourism dropped our heads would explode.

Not single handedly, tourist attractions like fake bin Laden executions just don't draw like they use to.
