Please elaborate how my response confirms any of your "casual observations". I don't even live in the US let alone in a rural area. And even if I did, I find it kind of distasteful to call people that live in economically deprived regions stupid, and on top of that insult them for the fact that they can't afford dental. I am sorry that I hit a nerve by involving Taylor Swift in a meme but I see no need to casually insult the poor as a response.
Sure I'll bite, I'm still very interested in how my response confirms any of your casual observations. But just to be clear, I genuinely find it distasteful to make fun of people with bad teeth, especially in a country without universal health care.
Edit: And yes I think it is cynical to some extend, Taylor Swift is incredibly competent at marketing and nurturing her brand, and I personally suspect that she would drop the gay community in a second if she fears that it will hurt her brand. I might be wrong in this, but then again it's just a silly meme.
