Please keep in mind that real people live in Kentucky and joke stereotyping it as you have is both unhelpful to progress and downright hurtful to those of us trying to make it a better place to live.
I live near my birthplace in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. I've spent a lot of time in Kentucky, as well. I'm not "punching down" ITT. One way to "make it a better place" would be to leave a comment on the form like I did. Kentucky residents probably have other options as well...
I’m from the hills of KY and I left for a reason, so I find this not-insulting especially if the teller of the joke is also from some backwoods.
But I have a soft spot for the people whom I left obviously, and won’t tolerate highbrow coast-dwellers being jerks for no good reason. These hill folks tend be victims of their own boredoms caused by an independent nature that was once a highly desirable trait when we talk about survival… but victims of inevitable progress and deserve help/pity instead of scorn. Except those who deserve scorn, ya know??
