We all need a little twang

   The fact that I am finding time in the midst of my pile of school work to write this tells me two things.

1. I could be a professional procrastinator .
2. The display of "southern" acting I just witness on NBC has me outraged. 

    While I am slowing falling in love the new show Chicago Fire tonight they introduced a very minor character who was supposed to be from Alabama. Now normally I like a little southern spice in my TV shows it adds a small touch of home that makes it easy to relate to. But this girl... this girl took the twang from Truvvy's Beauty Shop and times it by a million. I was appalled. 
    Is it possible to sue someone for libel, for defamation of the south's character? Everyone that watches Chicago Fire will now assume we sound like breathy twangy idiots. Which we don't and will therefore be a let down to anyone who has never actually met a girl from the south. 
    Do actors not actually come to the south to study their subjects? Do they not understand the assuming we sound like idiots makes and ass out of them and us? On top of that who do I contact in regards to this out right insult to my culture?
    These people are apparently not from here, nor have they ever been anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon, and I my request is simple. Do your stinking homework and learn what we actually sound like! You're getting paid to do something wrong, I don't get an A on a test for guessing all of the wrong answers. 
     My accent is part of my charm, it is something I have had to come to terms with. As I grow up it grows on me and I realize I wouldn't ever change it. It is part of the charm of the south and will be as long as the south exists.
