This reminds me, like most things in life, of Seinfeld.
ELAINE: What is it? (Grabs the card from George, he tries to stop her, but fails. She reads it out loud.) “Dear son, Happy Festivus.” What is Festivus?
GEORGE: It’s nothing, stop it..
JERRY: When George was growing up..
GEORGE: (Interrupting) Jerry, No!
JERRY: His father..
GEORGE: No!
JERRY: Hated all the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, so he made up his own holiday.
ELAINE: Ohhhh.. and another piece of the puzzle falls into place.
now we know where his son gets the animal cruelty ideas.
Seems like instead of talking about God this time, he is talking about whatever he thinks will appeal to South Carolinians. In that context you can really tell he goes the extra mile to tell the corn popper story.
I was reading another article about it and the person pointed out that this simply furthers baseless stereotypes about the South.
