The Redneck Games 2009

Posted by samzenpus on from the my-long-hair-just-can't-cover-up-my-red-neck dept.

More than 10,000 competitors took part in this years Redneck Games hosted by the town of East Dublin, Georgia. Those sporting a vermilion cervical area tested their watermelon seed spitting ability, bobbing for pigs' feet prowess, and who could throw themselves into a pit of mud with the most grace, artistic beauty, and the loudest splash. The first Redneck Games was held in 1996 as a spoof on the Olympics which were held in Atlanta that year.

    Spoofed? Is it possible to spoof the Olympics. Or at least, any better than they spoof themselves.
    At least they're trying to approach the dress codes of the original sportsmen. That's the only trend worth watching.
