re: KIm Mulkey on SNL

Sorry. I lead you down a logical path, using comparisons to other states, simple things so you would understand... then I coupled it with the same comparison to this state... An analogy? And then, I added to the ending to make a point. Did the test scores comment hit close to home?

The premise of your "logical path", which seems to assume that I'm selectively offended by the jokes is false.

A) I'm not offended
B) I'm being consistent in that I find using old tropes solely for punchlines to be lazy and unfunny, and that includes the examples that you cited of Texas and California stereotypes. If somebody on SNL was doing an impersonation of Gavin Newsom and he just started making surfer references, it would suck too.

I didn't make an assumption... I asked a direct question. Sorry, if you didn't follow.

Then where is the question in what you said below?

Got news for you... When people think of CA, they don't think about Orange County, they thing about Hollywood, or Surfing... When people think of TX,they see Cowboys and Oil... When people think of LA, they think of Swamps and Aligators, and rediculous politicians, and poor health care, and poor test scores... etc. The stereotypes are there for a reason.

Or are you referring to:

That question above infers / assumes that I'm supposed to be offended by that comment, no? I'm not. But that being used as a punch line for southern people is lazy.

I am still lost at the point you are trying to make. I'm not saying those things that you said (in the first quote) are untrue. My point was that those things alone as punch lines have been done to death and are not funny today.

Do you have dementia, baw? You may want to go see a doctor because just a second ago you:

1: Claimed that you didn't make an assumption
2: Immediately followed that post with:

My assumption is that

I'm not even kidding about the dementia. Your rambling makes absolutely no sense. Go see a doctor for your own sake.

The Kim Mulkey impression was the least funny part though. The old trope of "alligators, bayous, and swamps" is lazy and unfunny.

It would have taken me 15 min to write a script that would have had Kim, the team and all of Baton Rouge cracking up laughing.

Alligators, swamps...over-played

I give her a thumbs-up for the outfit

Weak.
