Ha, funny none of my friends have shared that but then again we are already from the rural area so by extension already understand the disdain for the darn city folk. How do you feel about said article ?
I used to be impressed at David Wong's schtick until I realized that he's taking simple, insightful concepts and dumbing them the fuck down and adding a lot of fart jokes and snark to make his point. I still think the point needs to be made, and I think that the dumbing down and snark expose the ideas (which are important) to a larger audience. But I think the country mouse/city mouse discussion could probably have been had at a slightly more elevated tenor, even in the hallowed pages of Cracked.
