The part of the post I found (not intentionally) funny was the part that complained about the "poor, racist, bible-bashing, hillbilly flyover states".

Ah yes, those bible-bashing hillbillies and the places they inhabit with their stench. Can't stand those bible-bashing hillbillies.

Yes, indeed, if only people could be free of bigotry and racism like, um, the reader in the Financial Times who disdains the bible-bashing hillbillies...

Irony likely lost on both the Financial Times post writer and his re-posting fan...
