9:02a - Frankly, Even Canton, Ohio Is Not All That Glamorous
...or, how a throwaway line by Stephen Colbert sparked a debate on rural homozygosity.
On his July 21st show, Stephen Colbert mentioned that John McCain was going to visit Canton - "Not the crappy Canton in Georgia, I'm talking about Canton, Ohio!" The president of the Historic [crappy] Canton [in Georgia] Homeowners Association posted a snarky response on Colbert's message board daring Stephen to try and show his face at the "Mint Julep Party on the Porch" now. A few surprisingly earnest Colbert fans responded defensively and got poked with irony sticks, and a good time was had by all.
Flash forward a few days.
( crappy is as crappy does. )
katie just wants us to know: Whatever, I grew up in canton it does suck.
ETA: He apologized! He meant Canton, Kansas. No response as yet from the Topeka paper.
