Why Pennsylvania? Looking it up, it seems that NY only started banning sale of the Confederate flag in 2020.
30 Rock
A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.
Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.
Rules:
- All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
- No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
- All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
- Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
- Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
- No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.
Maybe a Pennsyltucky joke? Even when they were being sold, finding a Confederate flag in NYC would have been unlikely.
Also, Tina Fey is from Pennsylvania. So she definitely knows about Pennsyltucky.
Pennsyltucky
What? ELIE (explain like I'm European)
It's a portmanteau of Pennsylvania and Kentucky referring to rural parts of the state, specifically Appalachia, being more culturally southern than the rest.
Outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is basically Kentucky, which is rural and conservative.
they may have only banned selling them in 2020, but i'd be hard-pressed to find a place within 100 miles of the city selling them, even back in, what, 2012 (?) when this ep aired. sure, maybe there were, but PA would be the first place i'd think to go.
or Staten Island, but fuck SI. at least PA is pretty and doesn't smell like a toilet.
