Very weird. My own kids have been indoctrinated with the image that Appalachia and the Deep South are inhabited by people who sleep with their sisters and brothers and don't have enough teeth. I assume they get it at school, although there's plenty in, say, The Simpsons. I call it the Easy Rider Syndrome, after the movie of the same name, which probably did more to keep Yankees out of the South than anything except Deliverance. Good riddance, too. A joke: Howard Dean wants the NASCAR dad vote. So he asks an advisor what NASCAR is. The advisor tells him that it's a car race. So he says, "who is the biggest name in NASCAR?" The advisor says, "it appears to be someone named Dale Earnhardt." So Dean says, "do whatever it takes to get him to endorse my campaign."
