You toss the average joe (or josephina) from rural Arkansas into downtown NYC, and you'll see what I mean. They'll go home with stories of foul creatures sinning at every turn. They'll be counting the minutes until the go back home, where the sinning takes place behind the good ol' fashioned Southern facade of faux-reality.

The OP used the F word. Oh my GOD!! I feel the fabric of space-time ripping apart as I type!!

Get over it folks.
Excellent use of generalization and stereotyping! ^
