West Virginia stereotypes

2003-01-03 20:34:19+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

University of Virginia apologizes for half-time show at University of West Virginia game:

The show, in which West Virginians were depicted wearing overalls and pigtails, "crossed the line between humor and the ridicule that the ACC, the NCAA and simple decency proscribe," Casteen said.

Now I'm not sure how everyone else read this, but in my interpretation he then went on to confirm every single stereotype about that region: "As the Bluefield (W.Va.) Daily Telegraph pointed out on Sunday, we are all pretty much the same. We are related."
