A little bit Kid Rock, a little bit big-house "new fish" and a whole lotta' over-stimulated suburban rube, the Neo Redneck suspects he might be making a statement, but can't quite summon up the mental energy to figure out what it is. It's less a statement really than a nacho-infused grunt. With brow furrowed and expression set to "rodential," the specimen seems to be attempting to convey some sense of hard, hairy manliness and gruff my-way-or-the-highway forthrightness, despite resembling an underfed, ageing boy-band member. His only strength may lie in numbers as he is somewhat of a pack animal, but for the most part he will always look slightly overwhelmed and angrily confused, ready to lash out at the myriad things he does not and cannot understand. However, like a degenerating chain of photocopied photocopies, he does not exude the authenticity, the genuine chaos of the true-blue jerky-jawin', shirt-sheddin' trailer trash punk - extremely difficult to pull off when you live with your parents in Stripmallville, cozily nestled down with your video games and Spiderman bedsheets.
Thank you for again saying what we're all thinking. There's loving one's fellow wo/man, but it shouldn't require a vivid imagination to detect another's humanity.

Eventually, this humor style will be played. What will you do after that?

Oh, and someone is telling me to add "You will never be Daniel Clowes". I'm not sure what they mean by that.

These are great...I'm pretty sure this particular guy lives at the end of my street...how did this type of person happen?
What mutation of pop culture and Scotch-Irish breeding could create such a creature?

Teh funny! These guys are a particularly pathetic subset of the food court crowd. K-Fed indeed. Yet their still completely unable to score with the Brittany clones.
