First time poster, here ... I love Bullshit! and have enjoyed every season of it. If I ever make it to Vegas, tickets to P&T's show is first on the list of things to do!
One thing I'd love to see P&T expose on Bullshit! is the accepted stereotypes about the American south as ignorant, backwards, redneck racists who don't wear shoes and marry their cousins. I've lived in the South all my life, and I've never heard anyone use the word "yankee" or act bitter about a war that ended 143 years ago - heck, I've never met anyone who believes the South should have won the Civl War, or that Sherman's tactics in winning it were unjustified.
I'm not saying the South is perfect, but from my travels and correspondences, I can safely attest to the presence of ignorant, backwards, redneck racists everywhere in the country, and that there's NO place of 100% social, educational, and cultural nirvana to be found in the USA. Everywhere is mostly great, with few pockets of localized idiocy.
This isn't news to anyone who lives in the South.
However, living in FL now, I run across many transplants from NY, NJ, and MA, and every one of them expresses surprise that there are shoes, cell phones, mixed-race couples, and Starbucks stores in the South. You'd think that, in the 21st century, America would be over this notion of a South that's 100 years behind the times, but apparently there are still a good many people who just don't know this.
Whether or not this would make for a great Bullshit! episode or not I can't say. All I can say is that I'd love to see P&T tackle this one. And if they do, they should toss in some topless girls in Daisy Dukes saying "y'all" a lot.
