I would be curious to know just why South Carolina's "Most Mobile Homes" is something to be ashamed of. Granted, mobile aren't the greatest quality housing in the world, but I've seen people forced to live in a whole lot worse. A mobile home provides warmth, shelter, and security at a relatively low price, certainly a whole lot better than no home at all.
And as for some of the other "shames," I think that whoever put this thing together was just slapping things in on the hope that no one would take the time to read them all.
"Ugliest Residents?" Who took that survey, and what standard did they use?
"Oldest State?" Are people who reach an advanced age something to be ashamed of?
"Tornadoes?" We're supposed to be ashamed OF THE WEATHER?"
"Daily Commute?" "Nerdiest State?" Shameful?
And if anything, "Weakest Government Influence," given the state of our government and the idiots that run it, should be something to be proud of, not ashamed.
