Bahamians do not live in straw huts.

This is excellent. Priceless use of The Simpsons. Thank you to Native Stew for sharing. It's particularly hilarious because while attending university in North America, people were stunned that someone like me could be from the Bahamas. Once that shock had dissipated, I was asked questions about our use of straw, thatch and other native materials and people were astonished that I had normal clothes and that people used cars in the Bahamas. It makes you realize just how superior first worlders believe their countries to be, as their media constantly portrays developing countries as total backwaters. It's quite humorous. It's an ever more globalized world and lazy writers, like the lady who wrote the original article, need to be more aware of that fact.
