- Fizban140, on 05/02/2008, -9/+57Where the ***** are you from? Minnesota is one of the healthiest states and high up in education. Most of the population lives in or around the Twin Cities which is known for it arts among other things, so in other words you know nothing about the state so ***** off.
- drewdown112, on 05/02/2008, -2/+36Mullets - Even a 3-year-old knows, business in the front, party in the rear!
- badjoke, on 05/02/2008, -3/+36"lol" is not punctuation.
- manteca29, on 05/02/2008, -2/+33poor kid. he has no idea that so many people are laughing their asses off at him. wait til he gets older and his friends find this picture.
- OldGrandma, on 05/02/2008, -25/+50This is what happens if you raise your child well in Minnesota. Imagine if you raised them poorly.
- diggonit, on 05/02/2008, -1/+26I'll bet he has a little camaro too.
- jynweythek, on 09/17/2008, -3/+28child abuse
- pipdip, on 05/02/2008, -2/+25Before anyone starts making Minnesota mullet jokes, I'm just going to say I don't know anyone that has a mullet here in Minnesota. But I guess you can continue the jokes.
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -2/+23To be fair, this contest is only held between our 3 trailer parks and 5 Indian reservations. No one else wears a mullet in Minnesota.
As for the poster that said California > Minnesota...give me a break. I've lived in both. Minnesota is much nicer. We have actual seasons here, we have plenty of water and we don't have wildfires every other day (even though we have tons of woodland). It's also fairly cheap to live here and very tech-involved.
I don't know if anyone read the original article but it said that mullets are also known as "hockey hair". Since when? I play hockey and none of the people I play hockey with have mullets.
Inaccurate. - blinkatron, on 05/02/2008, -4/+24proof that mullets are ugly, even on kids!
- alterImperson, on 05/02/2008, -3/+23You end up like me. A poor, mulletless teenager.
- Scottievm, on 05/02/2008, -1/+19Site is down, link to article about the same contest:
http://www.startribune.com/local/18370349.html - Phernoree, on 05/02/2008, -1/+16From someone who has lived in both states, Minnesota is a far healthier and more prosperous state to live in.
- dubloe7, on 05/02/2008, -0/+15Only because MacGuyver wasn't there, best mullet ever.
- BesideYouInTime, on 05/02/2008, -1/+16The prize is a free vasectomy!
- DephexTwin, on 05/02/2008, -1/+15Oh god.... you illustrate exactly why I ***** hated living in California. You think everyone wishes they could live there.
- pipdip, on 05/02/2008, -1/+15Where's this kid from? Coon Rapids? (inside Twin Cities joke)
- erranttv, on 05/02/2008, -3/+16bad parenting
- papaslurp, on 05/02/2008, -0/+12Minneapolis or Chicago > any city in the US (other than NYC or SF)
- gernblansted, on 05/02/2008, -0/+12I've lived in both states too. Minnesota beats California in almost every aspect, except weather.
BUT - and this is from someone who was raised in southern California - there is a healthy winter culture in Minnesota whose influence extends into summer. It's not just the vast number of winter activities in Minnesota, but there's something about winter which welds social structures and makes California social structures seem like a vapid desert in comparison.
In Minnesota, almost every town has celebrations in the summer which are all the sweeter because it's summer. Some are signature, and people come from miles around to be there. You could not attend them all if you tried.
Most neighborhoods (at least in the Twin Cities) have 'block parties' where the street in a neighborhood is blocked off by permit (depending on size), and everyone who lives there comes out and celebrates. In California, you can live someplace for 20 years and never know your neighbor. In Minnesota, you know them well.
There is no way to express the black and white difference between Minnesota culture and California culture. California is sad sad sad when it comes to it's social bindings. I know, I lived all over that state. Minnesota is a shining light relative to California's broken glass which always gets held up like it's something special. Only the weather is special there (and the beautiful but dry landscape), for the most part. - smrekar, on 05/02/2008, -3/+15This would be a great comment to post on my sites http://postwhoresRus.com and http://shamelessPlug.com
- twrife, on 05/02/2008, -4/+15It's amazing how people generalize states in the Midwest into a hick-filled, desolate area. Unless you've ever been to Minnesota or Nebraska or Kansas or Oklahoma or Arkansas don't publicize a stereotype.
Okay maybe not so much Arkansas, but you get my point. - alterImperson, on 05/02/2008, -1/+10I live in the Twin Cities and I didn't even know we had a Mullet Competition... And I must say, I'm very disappointed in my parents. I had a way better mullet than that kid when I was his age... I coulda won.
- RedneckRandy, on 05/02/2008, -0/+8Based on all the negative diggs, I guess I'll have to concede I'm a douchebag for posting my link. I'm still new so forgive me.
- phatcat77, on 05/02/2008, -4/+12GO SIOUX!!!
- diemunkiesdie, on 05/02/2008, -2/+9Who else thought it was a chick in the little thumbnail on the front page?
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -0/+7Typical California "whinefag". Everything is wrong that isn't YOUR way.
1) Minnesota drivers DO suck but not the way you explain it. It's more along the lines of them doing 80mph and then skidding to a near halt when there is any precipitation on the road.
2) Weather. Wow. You have not been out of Auntie's basement have you? We have beautiful fall weather, hot summers (perfect for boating on our many lakes), great spring that gives us rain, snow, hot weather all in a couple months, a wonderful winters. Plenty of skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, hockey, etc.
3) The culture is nothing close to hick. We have great restaurants, bars, parks, wonderful nightlife.
I think it's time for you to come out of the basement and see Minnesota for what it really is.
I'm not a homeboy. I was born and raised in Sweden (maybe why I like the Minnesota weather).
The only thing I miss from California is the ocean. - MrDo, on 05/02/2008, -0/+7cruel,, not cute.
- papaslurp, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8It's good to see Digg commenters focusing on the perpetuation of ***** regional stereotypes for a chance. I used to think they were interested in little more than Zero Punctuation, Ron Paul, and *****.
- Fizban140, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8Congratulations, you sound like a whiny little bitch.
- Misinformant, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8Poor kid is doomed.
Call protective services on his parents before it's too late for him. - theranbrig, on 05/02/2008, -0/+7that kid is wearing a sioux jersey...as far as i am concerned that is not minnesota...that is a traitor
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6Thou shalt spent 15 minutes in Minneapolis with a mullet. You'll never feel more isolated in your life.
- CYR1X, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6That's a lot of party in the back.
- tobikow, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6MacGuyver mullet FTW!
- RyanPMcBride, on 04/23/2009, -0/+6Sioux yeah yeah!
- banter, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6lol. And he has a Sioux jersey on. ***** classic!
- Obsession88, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6From Minnesota, but wearing a Sioux jersey? Has got to be a plant!!
- RedneckRandy, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6The parents are gonna have to have another kid to keep up the family dynasty. Unless of course Brady or his older bro can do the unthinkable and bring home the trophy again next year!
- jab9990, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6Everyone knows that a championship mullet has to have a "tail" in the middle that is at least 6 inches longer than the rest of the hair. And a dirty food-stained sunburned face is always good for a few extra points...
- cykyc, on 05/02/2008, -0/+5So far the only comment to make me LOL. Definitely not Brooklyn Park
- matthewdestroys, on 05/02/2008, -2/+7son were gonna fancy you a mullet.
- guzba, on 05/02/2008, -3/+8I can't wait for him to tell his girlfriend when they have the "Tell me something I don't know about you..." conversation.
- djstrat, on 05/02/2008, -2/+7Go Fighting Sioux... this kid will be a hockey player when he grows up!
- Tyrghast, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4"Send him to the Satan-worshiping family down the street, the one with all the good albums!"
- Enderplayer1, on 05/02/2008, -2/+6It's a sad day for proud mullet wearers everywhere. We demand a recount!
- juneaudigger, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4I'm not sure what to think about this; let me mull it over...
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4Wow.
You should send that to the Strib. You have summed up Minnesota pretty damn well.
We are friendly with our own. I hate the term "Minnesota friendly" but we are, while being current on the latest news and tech, still very "down home".
We appreciate our neighbors, be they from another neighborhood or even another town (and some say from another state) and we celebrate our diversity. We celebrate that we are all different and all the same in the sense that we live in close proximity with one another.
I have lived in Sweden, California, Maryland and Florida. I see no comparison to the diversity and acceptance I have seen in Minnesota.
Sure, I have my complaints but I can say, without a shred of doubt, that I love living here and I love the camaraderie with my fellow Minnesotans. This sort of friendliness is available nowhere else. - Legolover64, on 05/02/2008, -1/+5I'm proud to live in the same state where we have this mullet competition.
- Eezyville, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4I lived in Cali. I hate the Mohave (sp?) and boring ass Lancaster. L.A. was too much of a drive just to keep me from being bored. I will have to get a good as job to be going back, sorry.
