New video from Mary Katharine Spam
No relation to any other girls named Mary Katharine. Or at least not that we know of, anyways. That was sent to me by a Canadian Who Shall Remain Nameless, for fear of provoking reprisals.
Gotta tell you as a native from Louisiana, I cringed when the original song was released. I never like to reinforce Southern White Trash Stereotypes, and that is exactly what Ms. Wilson's song does, unfortunately. However with that being said, the people that just drive home this stereotype have never been to the South, nor do they have a clue as to the unique people, culture, and rich heritage that all of us down here below the Mason-Dixon line share.
Here is a poem that my Mother taught me as a boy; may it bring you joy.
Here is to the American Eagle, the mighty bird of prey, that thrives on Northern soil and shits on Southern clay. Here is to good 'Ole Dixie where that land is fertile and rich; we don't need a turd from your dirty old bird you Yankee Son-of-a-Bitch!
HELL YEAH!

Cheap shot on Mary Katharine Ham.
ReplyDeleteMK isn't mentioned in the video; that one's on Stacy. This is a slam on Gretchen Wilson.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad the jape is on people of European descent. Otherwise, this would be racism.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call a Canadian redneck? A working taxpayer.
