white trash is cool now? man, that was one stupid article.
 
2006-04-25 04:08:54 PM
Oh my farking god that article was terrible. Hackneyed "trend reporting" from some farking clueless dolt. I immediately want to kill anyone who refers to anything as "It's like a post-modern ___________". Same with people who use "Kafka-esque" without having any real understanding of the works of Kafka aside from something about a bug. Also, she completely misused the already idiotic word "trustafarian"

Never have I been happier to be unstylish.

that was a horrible article

To illustrate the growing white trash cachet, witness "My Name is Earl" (a postmodern "Roseanne") or the budding movie career of "Blue Collar" comedian Larry the Cable Guy. (An "Ernest" for the new millennium?) Someone tell "The Simpsons": Between the rise of NASCAR and Dick Cheney's hunting accident, white trash ain't just for Cletus and Brandine anymore.

Um....let's see. My Name is Earl is nothing like Roseanne. Larry the Cable Guy does not have a budding movie career. What does Dick Cheney's hunting accident have to do with with trashiness? Stupid.

That was stupid. The only thing "cool" about white trash is making fun of it, not embracing it.

s_mcdonald: white trash is cool now? man, that was one stupid article.


No, white trash is not cool. White trash has never been cool, white trash will never be cool.

White trash is popular right now, as in a lot of stupid idiots think it's fun to pretend, like Marie Antoinnette and her stupid French Countryside Farm she had out back of Versailles.

It is popular as in when spoken in Henry the V: "Are you Base, Common, and Popular?" Meaning: Are you a scumbag, knavish, thiefing, rat-bastard?

Wow, what a gifted writer. I can't believe she was passed up for the Pulitizer in favor of some stupid secret prisons.

She's written about politics, award shows, and music! Is there no end to her talent?

Anyone remember the band White Trash?

Chevy better hurry to get the new Camaro out on the market soon if they want to cash in on this trend.

Try to think of "white trash" as the word "nubian" or the word "queer". It's just people flipping the word around to turn it into some positive connotation.

Look at some country music stars:
Toby Kieth's new album "White Trash with Money"
Dixie Chicks' had a song "White Trash Wedding"
Gretchen Wilson had a song "Redneck Woman"

It's their culture so what the heck.
 
2006-04-25 05:49:04 PM
Meh. If the Ghetto can be fabulous, why not the Trailer Park?
 
2006-04-25 05:49:10 PM
Whoever thinks white trash is cool has obviously never been to Bayou La Batre, AL.

From RoscoePColtrane's link:

"Lookin' to meet some gen-u-wine white trash? Sign up at our new white trash community - its called The Hook Up !"


Does white trash that uses the intarnets for breeding purposes qualify as true white trash?

I've always wondered why people use the term "White" trash. It seems that it denotes that when all other peoples are trash and can be all lumped together.
maybe I'm off base.
Am I?
Probably.

Who the fark says?
In fashion lingo, white trash is the ghetto fabulous for spring. WTF? That article was ridiculous.

Helen A.S. Popkin is a dumb twat. Or an intern.

The rocket scientists at MessNBC decide to cherry pick a few snippets from pop culture, and suddenly OMFG WE HAVE A TREND!!11!!1!

Stupid.

stories like these make me wish the media would just stop.

Please, media, just stop.
 
2006-04-25 05:52:54 PM
I was in a pizza joint, and I heard a table behind bemoan the fact that they didn't get out to the theatre fast enough to see "That there larry cable guy movie".

Maybe the trash was too dumb to figure out when the movie was playing, and that is why it bombed?

I have some white trash neighbors. Wait 'til I tell them that they're now cooler than I am. They'll be thrilled.

On second thought, I'm not getting anywhere near them.
 
2006-04-25 05:57:21 PM
After using the substitute for the "n-word" plenty of times on fark, may I suggest that you white folks use the folowing substitute?

White trash = "successful and attractive white americans"

I was white trash before white trash was cool.

The concept of the article:

1. Americans, formerly sophisticated and worldly, have conscientiously decided to become trailer park trash.
2. This is true because famous people like Jerry Springer, Britney Spears and Kid Rock are human scum.
3. There were also a couple of movies and TV shows that featured white trashy types.

You just can't argue with logic like that...
 
2006-04-25 05:59:28 PM
Stupid article, but she did raise one good point. Seems there are more and more people out there who are basically "white trash" in the sense they have low-brow tastes, but they do have money. Nothing wrong with having money but living modestly, but having money and spending it on million dollar versions of junk regular folk buy? Lame.
