“Single Ladies” casting for “redneck who can shoot a gun”
photographyreview.com
Finally, a casting call tailored for my people.
The VH1 show “Single Ladies” is casting for a “redneck who can shoot a gun.”
No kidding.
The casting call, open to guys in their 20s to 50s, notes that you’ll be packing a prop piece, and you won’t be able to bring your own heat. Still, they need someone comfortable around firearms. “Please note any experience you have with guns,” the casting notice reads.
No word on whether they’re looking for mullets, Smokey and the Bandit mustaches, RIP #3 tattoos or Wrangler jeans with a permanent outline of a Skoal tin in the pocket, but if you ask us that’d all put you in the running. Having graduated from a rural North Carolina school system that used to take elementary school children on tours of the tobacco factory and would designate a “smoking bus” on high school field trips, we know of what we speak.
Email photos and your dimensions to SingleLadies2ATL@gmail.com with “Redneck” in the subject line.

Oh yes, good to know that we can still call white southern males derogatory names as opposed to any other ethnic/race group without being labeled racists.

Uh Duh!! We do know that there is no such thing as a redneck who can’t shoot. All they have to do is ask for a redneck, and the package deal comes right along with it. Problem solved.

To all of you who posted negative comments about the South and Rednecks: Go Home! Wherever that may be. You aren’t needed or wanted here. We don’t need your arrogance or your condescending ways. We really don’t care how you did it back home so if you can’t learn to love the South for those things that are near and dear to us…..GO HOME!

@OR
Our “home” is wherever we choose to make it! You don’t own squat but your little patch of earth with the rickety fence and the all the signage and flags. That’s where you get it confused. You think you and yours own EVERYTHING. “Rednecks” have no problem heaping heartache upon other groups, but sure as h377 can’t take it when “rednecks” are on the receiving end when fun is poked at them. Get over yourself.

I agree with you Milton man, lets do a casting call for males 20 to 30 who can shoot hoops, we can set up a fried chicken and watermelon stand next to the jail.

so you can call white southern males rednecks and even put out an add calling us such, but any other stereotypical name used for evryone else is offensive. Fairs fair just ask for white guys with gun experience not rednecks.

When Fulton, Delkab and Gwinnett are broke and your taxes go through the roof I will be smilling in Cobb County. But it is funny how YOU can HATE rednecks. You use the term hate with any other group and you have committed a crime. I agree with WTF. You do like Cobb and Southern Folks you are wlecome to take yourself somewhere else. Little secret, rednecks are everywhere. They just go by other names in different states.

We shoot real guns. Not “prop pieces”. This should read “redneck who can shoot a prop piece.”
Funny

It’s funny how the people talk bad about people and their guns are the same ones complaining about high crime in their neighborhood…..while the redneck with the gun smiles as he enjoys the low crime in his neighborhood.

Born and raised in north georgia, family has been here since before it was stolen from the Cherokee and made part of the state, and family in Americas since the 1600s,. You dumb rednecks need to go the heck away you serve no purpose other than to show the rest of the world how backward we are in Georgia, especially at election time. You go home, I have every right to be here since my family fought to establish the country and has fought in every war since to preserve it- excluding the Civil War when they fought on the side of their home.

But Alan that’s a major fallacy. Actually most Black people stand against guns (which I actually think is to our detriment) and do not carry. I think more of us should. Also, what people like to refer to as the “thug” tends to be a pretty poor shot, which is why so my innocent lives are lost in “the hood”.
And to @Dwayne, sounds like a great idea, but I think we should put a hockey rink, tennis courts, and golf course there as well since we have broken down the doors to take those sports over too! Oh, just make sure the fried chick is DARK MEAT, because it has been revealed what WE have known for a long time, it’s actually much better than the white meat.

So… are they looking for a true redneck or “po’white trash”? I can’t figure out since *gasp* I’m a redneck but yet none of their stereotypical must haves don’t apply to me.
Curious y’all… just real curious.

—————————————————————–
Yes! And a smoking porch so you could light up in between classes. I grew up in tobacco country for sure. I think you probably could smoke in the hospital back in the day. I definitely can remember people sitting in the back of the bus puffing away as we traveled to some school trip.

Ms. Brett ain’t lyin’. I grew up in the Old North State, where every high school had a designated smoking area and the evening radio announced the per-pound prices paid for tobacco during harvest season. I spent a summer harvesting tobacco, too.
All together now:
“Then let all those who love us, love the land that we live in,
As happy a region as on this side of heaven,
Where plenty and peace, love and joy smile before us,
Raise aloud, raise together the heart thrilling chorus.
“Hurrah! Hurrah! The Old North State forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The good Old North State!”
