This may be the best thing I've read today.
Could be me just speaking with my friends, but a lot of us think it's funny and does a good job of hitting its target. And I also imagine that for a lot of those who hold more conservative beliefs, that the show gets it right by making them look so silly.
Then again, it's comedy, which is extremely subjective. It manages to hit my sensibilities just right. I just saw Wilco a couple of nights ago in Portland, and Jeff Tweedy asked us if we were "tired of that show that makes fun of us." The audience laughed, and then we clapped when he asked if we liked the show. Small sample size, but a good anecdote.
I also wanted to point out this picture, which showed up on a lot of my friends' Facebook feeds recently, which also shows our perceptions within the state.
I read it after the controversy, and found little that could be considered "trolling."
