The 2012 Summer Redneck Games

Ah, good old rednecks. Buck-toothed simpletons, uncivilised yokels, rootin’ tootin’ rednecks.  A Sporting Showpiece in True Southern Style Whatever cliche comes to mind when you picture the BBQ-loving, corn-chewing, mullet-sporting, beer-swilling sports fans from the USA’s southern states, they sure know how to laugh at themselves.
