She lamented the “White trash” of her home even though she actually has the phrase “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART” tattooed on her side. If there’s anything more White Trash than a woman with a tattoo on her ribcage it’s when the tattoo is some bad song lyric or half-assed philosophizing that’s supposed to make you think she has depth as you stuff singles into her g-string.
I mean come on, but not for the grace of the gods Megan Fox would be doing first shift at a lower end strip club and we all know it. Coming down on the “white trash” that infest the fantasies of lefties is tiresome enough, but since Fox is a pot-smoker from Tennessee covered in tattoos that only make sense when your high you’d think she’d be self aware enough to phrase this nonsense differently:
The “Transformers” bombshell-cum-uninhibited philosophizer also contemplates — reluctantly — what she would say to Megatron to keep him from destroying the world. “I’d barter with him,” she muses to the July issue Total Film UK, “and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?”
Says the woman who’d be dating carnies if it wasn’t for her “big break” in Hollywood.
Look, I’m from the big city (or the inner city really, but I lived in NYC on and off for more than ten years) so I get it. Blah, blah, If you don’t live in the city and vote Democrat you’re a toothless hillbilly, blah blah. The problem is Fox is pretty much what White trash looks when you slap a layer of pretension on it and market it as “uninhibited.” The truth is that if Fox didn’t make it as an actress she’d be lumped into that sentence by the actress that had her spot, and would be complaining about it while finishing up a shift at Denny’s.
Regardless of politics it’s outrageous to smear people as “White Trash” and especially outrageous when you’re the very definition of what you’re talking about. Loves pot. Check. Broke off engagement to an older guy White guy a little too into hip-hop. Check. Makes her living being a semi-naked hot chick. Double check.
Look at her stats and you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between her and a Juggalo.
So maybe if you’re a stoner from Tennessee with tattoos that looked like they were planned out in sophomore detention you want to be careful about calling people White Trash. But that’s just my opinion.
Update: John Nolte talks about how classless she is at Big Hollywood.
What I find sickening is her sneering contempt for “super bible-beating people in Middle America.” Atheism and anti-Christian sentiment have become Hollywood accoutrements, just like teacup dogs that fit into $2,500 handbags. I know it’s trendy to rag on Christians who live in flyover country, but it’s not just offensive, it’s bad marketing.
Who does she think bought most of the tickets to see The Transformers?
Thanks Rob, I needed that laugh. ^_^
