I know it is a bit off-topic, but since the "trailer park" thing has come up, I wanna comment on it.
As I recall, the "trailer park trash" thing got started, or at least mainstreamed, back during the Clinton Administration by the leftists to marginalize certain people. The ironic thing is that I always thought the liberals claimed to be the champions of the poor. Most people I know who live in mobile homes are what would be classified as the working poor. So now the libs have turned that into a term of derision. I wonder how the libs would care for the term "public housing trash"... most of whom are getting a free ride at our expense?
I do enjoy when they use that term, since it merely exposes them as the elitists they truly are.

You're way off the mark. A huge part of the Kid Rock image is that he's "straight outta the trailer", and grew up as poor white trash who lived in a trailer park. Fact is, his old man owns a car dealership, and KR's beginnings are far from what he has portrayed them as.
