    I find your "comment policy" ironic considering the fact that you trash the town of Hastings, it's residents and the residents of Nebraska in general in your OP. Although you didn't use racist slurs or the three letter "f" word you made broad generalization of intelligence levels, access to technology and culturedness of a group of people simply based on their location. That is offensive hate speech and should be removed.

    You got all that from a bland one-liner? Please don't give Neil the satisfaction of believing he actually trashed your town with only thirteen words.

    But I have to, have to know what the three letter F word is. Have to.

    Also, you should never listen to the stand-up of Daniel Tosh. Trust me on this.

    The word is "fug."

    You really read way more into that than you should have. Could we persuade you to photograph and live blog the premiere as a way of apologizing? It makes sense in that you would do a lot of work for us for free and then you would forgive us. ;)

    I am a from Nebraska, and a student in Hastings, and I think it is sad that people still have this kind of view towards Nebraska and surrounding states....sarcastic or not. That would be like me telling the author of this article (from Austion TX) that I assumed I was supposed to receive a complementary handgun with my purchase of liquor while in Texas. Pure ignorance. It was really cool that many people all over NE pitched in and helped a town of 24,000 beat down a town of 750,000.

    "That would be like me telling the author of this article (from Austion TX) that I assumed I was supposed to receive a complementary handgun with my purchase of liquor while in Texas."

    That is actually true.

    Paul, stop perpetuating stereotypes. You're issued a gun once you cross the border. You don't have to buy liquor anymore to get free firearms. Finally.

    Wow. They must have changed that after I moved to Missouri. Nice to see some progress finally coming out of Perry's administration!

    When a town beats out a ton of American cities to win a Wolverine premiere, it's probably a pretty safe bet they'll find your article on it. Should have known the hammer was coming!

    Oh, you're just bitter because you live in Nebraska (sorry for that). Wah.

    True, I mean we did just get internet in '07. I'm still skeptical it will actually catch on.
