Reality TV comes to Pennsylvania
I got this in a chain email from a friend:

Subject: REALITY TV COMES TO PENNSYLVANIA


Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, several area TV

stations are joining together and are planning to do their own, entitled

"Survivor: Central Pennsylvania."



The contestants will start in Altoona travel over to Huntingdon and

on to Port Royal. >From there they will head down to McConnellsburg and

over to Bedford. They will then proceed over to Somerset, up to Johnstown

and Phillipsburg, finally ending up back over in Altoona.



Each will be driving a pink Volvo with New York license plates and

large bumper stickers that read: "I'm Gay, a Vegetarian and NASCAR

Sucks," "Go Yankees!", "Smoking is for Idiots", "Hillary in 2004",

"Deer Hunting is Murder", and "I'm Here to Confiscate Your Guns!"



The first one who makes it back to Altoona alive wins.

of Hollidaysburg isn't mentioned.

Altoona is grim.

edit: verb tense correction

5. That is soooo funny
and I posted it mainly because my hometown of Somerset is listed. Cars with John Kerry stickers get keyed in these parts and anyone who says NASCAR sucks will never live to say it again. I would pity the fool who drives a pink Volvo.

There are Democrats here but they are the moderate and conservative types.

7. I told my hubby about your post
And he said that the Volvo's should add one more bumper sticker "I bust Crack heads"

It named just about every town near me, but mine. and Philipsburg scares the crap out of me... I won't go anywhere near there.

12. Oxycontin is the drug of choice in "hicksville" sections of PA
they wanna be like their buddy Rush....

Sadly I am not joking about this...Somerset County and Eastern Westmoreland County have bad problems with prescription drugs and Heroin!!!...so it is no longer a big city issue.

14. Don't forget gasoline - I've seen them sniff that in Perry County
how I managed to become liberal after 18 years in that county is beyond me

3. It's good they aren't going thru NW Pa.
esp. small towns, like corry. Cops there arrest kids for riding double on bikes! 13 cops for a city of 7500, nazis.

4. If someone were to put a sign like this pretty much anywhere in PA...
"I'm Here to Confiscate Your Guns!"

most Dems wouldn't let him/her live...this one included:evilgrin:

I guess it would pass in Philly though.

8. alrighty then, vote for Politis
and I'll watch the turnpike in case they try to escape that way. The potholes and construction should slow them down.
