Heh.

Stephen Colbert's one-man campaign against towns named Canton has its latest target firing back. A city councilman in Canton, Texas, joked that he would "mash his nose" after the comedian referred to the town as an "incorporated outhouse."

"Canton is known worldwide," City Manager Andy McCuistion said of the town, located about 55 miles southeast of Dallas. "You can go anywhere in the world, and people will say, `Canton? Yeah, I know where that is. It's where that big flea market is.'"

Dear City Manager Andy McCuistion,

I don't even live in Canton and I can say this, as a small-town girl:

STOP HELPING. 'Cause, you know, you're not.

Sincerely,

Me

EDIT: Also, I haven't been reading everybody's apocalyptothon drafts as I get them but I can say this: Oh, good Lord, I love you people. \o/

...If you go anywhere around the parts of the world I'm from and say, "Canton" people will burst into song and put a silly hat on.

As someone who has been to Canton, TX, Stephen is right. It is an incorporated outhouse.

I hate that flea market. The number of puppy mills that use that place is atrocious.
