Stereotypical Alabama Redneck on American Idol

Jesse Hamilton is from Alabama. He recently auditioned for American Idol and here's the clip from the show:



Hear that mumbling southern hick accent? Practically everyone I know who's from here sounds exactly like that. Why would American Idol take him all the way through the audition process and not only televise it, but take the time to produce a "dramatization" of his story? It's simple. Because to most of America, Alabama (not to mention the South in general) is a fucking joke. It's a punchline. It's one big trailer park that shits out inbred yokels like this clown that they can laugh at. It makes them feel better about themselves.

And it should.

If you're not from the deep south, there's a pretty good chance you make more money, are more educated, live in a better city, and are an all around better person than most who live here. So keep laughing because Alabama deserves it. Maybe if all of you laugh loud enough then the people of this state will finally pull their heads out of their proud redneck asses and realize that this is not, in fact, the Greatest Place on Earth and the healing can finally begin.
