Rednecks get fooled by CNN..

…although can you really blame them? Headline News seems to be produced for middle school kids who have a hard time understanding the board game Risk.

Oh, and thanks to Petey Gil-Montlor from whom I grabbed these images. Petey and I recently spent several hours watching Trinity Broadcast Network in the midst of a hurricane while stranded in a shitty hotel that had been used to house Katrina refugees outside Houston… all in a failed attempt at converting ourselves to Fundamentalist Christians.

Friday, 10PM @ Circle K
Couple sitting outside of convenience store; the woman is giving a tarot card reading and one of her boobs is hanging out of her vaguely Indian looking hippie dress, while her partner periodically feeds her beef jerky and doritos by dangling them above her mouth as if she were a puppy being given a treat.

As she mumbles about the air and stars, a man gets out of his Prius wearing a leopard print leather suit with a tuxedo shirt underneath and cowboy boots on his feet. He pumps his gas and slowly approaches the couple, whom he proceeds to pay to have his fortune read. He listens attently and even snags a few pieces of jerky before entering the store where he purchases a pack of Marlboro Reds. Meanwhile, the couple gets up and leaves.

I am still unsure whether getting someone to pay to have their fortune read was the couple’s plan all along – but they left abruptly as if their time at Circle K was complete.
