They do have a humorous life of their own. The fact is, Florida has sunshine laws that make it very quick and easy for reporters to get the quick scoop on things that are happening. It is one of the most transparent states in that regard. So that’s the start, I think, for the Florida man stories. The fact is, these stories happen all over our country, but FM seems to steal the show because of the transparency.
” these stories happen all over our country”
I get your point, but at least 80% of Florida Man stories contain content including alligators, so that would give Florida another edge over a large portion of America.
