There are these people in Finland called "raggers." They're a group of people who have a very skewed and misconceived notion as to how Americans dress and act. Basically, they dress like douchers from "The Outsiders."

lol when I was in Greece, there was several stores named "America" and they were stores basically that were designed to look like American clothes. Most of them were off-brand Aeropostal and other preppy clothes. It looked almost like a good-will here in the US.

Heh, just looks like some misguided rednecks to me. You must not like rednecks then?

Given I spent 14 years in the South around nothing BUT rednecks, then I think the answer is a bit apparent. ;)

Really, I just hate the way they dress, but their attitude is more juvenile. The basic premise of a ragger's day is to start drinking the moment you wake up, puke a little bit, and then bang some broad in the backseat of your car. Oh, and you gotta have the kind of vehicles in the pictures above.

I have lived in Florida my whole life.. :(

Those are basically the backwoods rednecks we have around here...
