Well, it ain't no orange painted, door-welded shut, Dixie air-horn tooting, 1969 Dodge Charger that's for sure.
One presume this Geordie is a good old boy, just makin' his way the only way he knows how.
Its either a joke, or after reading the following you realise that its all rather inappropriate. However, one can not deny history.
"The Confederate States of America (CSA or C.S.)—commonly referred to as the Confederacy—was an unrecognized republic in North America that existed from 1861 to 1865. The Confederacy was originally formed by seven secessionist slave-holding states—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas—in the Lower South region of the United States, whose economy was heavily dependent upon agriculture, particularly cotton, and a plantation system that relied upon the labor of African-American slaves. Convinced that the institution of slavery was threatened by the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency on a platform which opposed the expansion of slavery into the western territories, the Confederacy declared its secession in rebellion to the United States, with the loyal states becoming known as the Union during the ensuing American Civil War. Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens described its ideology as being centrally based "upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition".

Since the end of the American Civil War, private and official use of the Confederacy's flags, and of flags with derivative designs, has continued amid philosophical, political, cultural, and racial controversy in the United States. These include flags displayed in states; cities, towns and counties; schools, colleges and universities; private organizations and associations; and by individuals.

This was a shot from the November Triangle Strobist meetup. The goal was to create a redneck version of the original image used in Maxell advertisements. www.flickr.com/photos/paragon1/2854296933/sizes/l/ The lighting was an Alien Bee in a large Octobox behind the model and another Alien Bee bounced off the ceiling in the middle. I used Photoshop CS4's "Content Aware Scaling" to stretch it out a bit to make it truer to the original, did a bit of cloning to make Corey's rug bigger and added some grain.
Thanks to .Kristy. for modeling.
Wikipedia provides this definition: "Redneck is a derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the Southern United States.[1][2] It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks).
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1993 comedy album You Might Be a Redneck If... cajoled listeners to evaluate their own behavior in the context of stereotypical redneck behavior, and resulted in more mainstream usage of the term.
