Lifetime Channel


Scene:

Parking lot in front of a store in a small town. Pickup trucks are parked along the curb with stereotypical camouflage clad rednecks standing around, dead deer prop in the back.

Redneck 1: slurping beer
“I’m damn tired of these folks from Portland coming around these parts with their attitudes, looking down on us like they're better dan us.”

Lady in a hat walks by into the store.

Redneck 2:
“Well maybe they don’t like looking at your ugly face much either”

The other rednecks share a collective laugh at Redneck 1's expense, because after all, he does look pretty fucked up. This seems to bother Redneck 1 quite a bit.

Redneck 1 puffs up his chest, approaches and takes a wild swing. Redneck 2 throws a counter punch and knocks Redneck 1 down (fighting move #23).

Cut to inside of store. Woman in hat is on the left speaking to another woman on the right looking out through a large window into the parking lot at the aforementioned fighting Rednecks.

Woman in hat “That’s why there's so much abuse up here. They kill something and celebrate by drinking beer. Those kids don’t have good examples.”


I laughed about this. Mainly because abuse is so uproariously funny. Well actually because it was such shitty acting combined with convenient stereotyping.

If you read this or know me I go hunting. Yes, I have killed a deer before and yes, I have drank beer afterwards. I have never killed a deer, drank a beer and been abusive to anything other than my own liver after said killing. Actually, I should probably also include my sense of human decency.
