My favorite quote is from the mayor:

[ QUOTE ]

"You start the piece by showing a rebel flag on Julius Avenue, an overweight man without a shirt smoking a cigarette and an old pickup with a few women in the back," Blackburn said. "As I am sure you would agree, you can go to almost any city in America and find the same."


[/ QUOTE ]

Does ANYONE here agree with that quote?

If he replaces "America" with "rural parts of the south" then I agree. Still, A&E doing this isn't very nice.

Pikeville is full of redneck morons. There is no way to make the town look worse than it is. There is nothing that redeems Pikeville.
