Move away from there

Zell Miller is pissed off. The Georgia Senator is ordering CBS to cancel its new reality show. Based on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” this new show plans to move a country family to a posh neighborhood.

CBS knows “the only minority left in this country that you can make fun of and demean and humiliate … are hillbillies in particular and rural people in general,” said Miller.

Besides, how funny could it be? I say move a rich family to the hood or a trailer park. That would be true fish-out-of-water comedy. Who doesn’t want to see a snotty rich dude pee his silk jammies when he turns on the lights and sees a roach circus in the kitchen?
