Who Decides What South Dakota Is?

Not too long ago, Dakota War College reported that according to Coastal filmmakers, Iowa makes a better South Dakota the South Dakota does. Not surprisingly, New Yorkers don't think we're idyllic enough. While I might normally just assume this is another example of lame Coastal elitism and ignorance, but it looks like their might be a little more to the story. The movie claims to "addresses the many sides of the abortion issue without judgment," which honestly always seems like a big red flag to me. Especially when the producer is apparently a contributer to the Sam Brownback campaign (so much for those Hollywood liberals). This post also raises some questions about where this dude might be coming from.

This is another exciting phenomenon that seems to go hand-in-hand with the attention that comes with our high profile role in the abortion battle: outsiders (journalists, filmmakers, etc.) that feel like they understand the essence of South Dakota better than we do, and that they can use us to push whatever crazy agenda they have. Man, I cannot wait for seven more months of this crap.
