Saco gets slammed

This is a long way to go for not much of anything, but I'm always interested to see Saco, Maine mentioned anywhere, even if it's to get ripped apart by anonymous internet babblers. So here goes. The New York Times runs a column called The Ethicist, where people write in with their moral dilemmas. A few weeks ago, they ran this letter from someone in Saco with the unusual name of Clement Daly (it's the second letter...but read the first one, too. It's totally appalling.)

Gawker, the New York gossip site, runs their own response to the column every week because they think it's so stupid. They call it The Unethicist, and run the same letters with, you know, opposite advice. They ran this response to Clement Daly's letter (again, the first letter about snowflakes is totally worth reading).

The column prompted these response in the comments section, in which the posters totally shit on Saco.

Promises Malibu Barbie says:
I've been to Saco, Maine. Like those undocumented Persians, most of the townspeople are inbred. There are good reasons why the state serves as inspiration for Stephen King.

JupiterPluvius says:
There are four or five different Clement families in Saco, according to Google. How I love rural New England, where, as Promises Malibu Barbie says, everyone's as inbred as a kitten-mill cat.

This is probably the most prominent forum in which Saco has ever been discussed. I'm so proud.
