i hate the fact that the texas polygamy thing came out right before this series. I’m now left only with jokes about mormons and the lack of black people. I guess i just have to make do.

While you’re avoiding Utah, you may want to also avoid Texas — where that whole thing is, you know, actually happening. Just stick to the coasts. That’s my motto.

There’s NOTHING cool about having 3 unattractive wives at the same time. Nothing.

Cooler than having no women what-so-ever, Jay.

I don’t want to be offensive being from France, but people in Utah seem to be RIDICULOUSLY DIFFERENT from common people. They seem weird.

Lane says:
The guy from France thinks Utah has “ridiculously different” people .. the guy from France ? really — France ?

Spaceship Jay says:
Are you still angry at me Jukai? I’m sorry
Apr.24 at 4:26 pm
Spaceship Jay says:
I meant that having 1 wife is plenty work already. I COULD NOT deal with having 3, whether they be unattractive, or Beyonce like. Jukai, your the greatest!!

Believe me Mutoni, people here in utah are just as annoyed as you are. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the rest of the world refuses to believe that we aren’t all crazy polygamists. It should be clear that we’re all too busy practicing our skills for American Idol and Dancing With the Stars and Survivor and Jeopardy! (Emphasis theirs).

To Lane : Yep.

And everytime I meet a Mormon missionary, I tell him I root for the Utes University (because of the rivalry with BYU.)

All I know is if every chick in that polygamist sect has a crazy unibrow like the one on Larry King, I’d rather be womanless myself.

Spaceship Jay says:
YES what, YES!! exactly.

I used to live in San Angelo, Tx. and it is an awesome place to live. These Nutjobs saved up millions in donation while they were in Utah and migrated 40 miles south of San Angelo out in the middle of eleventeen yr. old marrying Egypt. They built a military like confine out there and every person in San Angelo wanted that Molestation Factory shut down. I’m just glad it finally happened.

I have been close to Utah…Im glad now that I never actually crossed the border…scary people out there….

Hahaha you guys are all idiots, it’s way worse outside of Utah. There is basically way less drugs, crime, and all of that crap that goes on anywhere else, you shouldn’t be talking about it if you don’t know what you’re saying.

dma says:
hell yeah there’s less crime in utah. you’ve got multiple wives/husbands. nobody would be mad living there.. unless you’re black.

RV says:
so can someone explain why the fans are so bad in Utah, the announcers were saying the fans are the most classless in the league, Bullard said he went around looking at the signs fans had and they were some of the worst he’s seen. Not the first time i’ve heard this either…

Mayor of Lovetron says:
I’m from Utah RV and the reason that they are so bad is that they are ridiculously oppressed. You see it in their driving as well. All that lack of alcohol and caffeine, combined with an insistance on smiling all the time, makes them uncontrollably utter taunts and put downs at basketball games. Seriously. But Salt Lake is a lovely city…a mixture of hard core hippies and crazy Mormons all caged together by mountains in either direction.

Mayor of Lovetron says:
Oh and the notion that Polygamous groups “civil rights are being violated” is amazing. Yes, of course it is ok to convince 14 year old girls that they have to marry a 40 year old dude to get into heaven. It’s a wonder that they aren’t getting more support
