Um ...  It portrayed country bumpkins as, well, country bumpkins?  It
acknowledged the existence of sex?  It featured violence?  It didn't
feature enough violence?

One thing I've learned about our society is that the professionally
offended will ALWAYS find something to be offended by.  If they really,
truly can't find anything in your work even vaguely controversial enough
for them to take offence at, they'll take offence at *THAT*.

Personally, I don't know what's wrong with these people, but I wish
they'd just snap out of it and get a life.
