Fucking Ohio. Proving once again, Florida Man doesn’t stand alone.

Florida and Ohio are basically the same thing. Insufferably boring hyper-conservative states with mid cities that are only redeemed by their amusement parks and Lebron James.

It makes sense they would produce similar types of crazy

Wait, wait, wait: what the fuck is that format of news program.

Are "man doing bad jokes and woman doing fake performative laughs" standard in news programs over there or are these people just especially incompetent?!

That stuff was seriously cringe.
