You know that show, The Simple Life? Where Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie whore themselves out to an Arkansas farm family who are whoring themselves out to Fox?
Meep.
I found out that show was almost filmed in the town where I grew up. Fortunately, the Shipman farm had the sense to refuse Fox's offer.
Meep...?
But the universe couldn't leave well enough alone. In the town where the show WAS filmed (Altus, AR), there's a statue honoring past coal miners. My mother's husband posed for it.
