This just furthers the MSM’s elitist agenda to make Americans out to be knuckle-dragging bible thumpers. You can’t get on camera if you’re not morbidly obese, inarticulate, or wearing something sleeveless.

I don’t know what is worse the people or the news station covering it? I think the news station is worse.
And people wonder why Stockton was the foreclosure capital of the country for a while? I grew up in a town 60 miles south of Stockton. Now in San Diego. Not too many people understand that many of the fruits, nuts and vegetables of the country comes from the “Valley”. From Sacramento to Bakersfield. I would drink a beer with someone from the Valley than an a-hole liberals from the Bay. Hey it might be bad in Stockton but it aint Detroit. LOL!!

What’s wrong with you people?!?!?!
It’s definitely the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.
And if you listen carefully, you can even hear the wind in the background rustling through the leaves to the tune of “If They Only Had a Brain.”

IMO so many things about the US in recent decades points to the dumbing down of America. This is not limited to religious versus irreligious persons.
It is a sad reflection on a culture which has been debased by crass materialism, self-gratification, envy and scholastic methods and that have dragged education levels downhill.
The election of Obama is indicative to this malady.
I speak as someone born and raised in the US and despondent from the big picture I get just from listening to Americans, watching the government at all levels not working and seeing what trash universities send out into all fields. I have no need for MSM influence (a symptom on its own) to draw my conclusions.

Maybe they just think it looks like MJ since the “nose” is a big hole – much like the one in “the original” after hacking at it so much.
