Playaz air episode of "Hee-Haw" for Georgia school children instead of Obama speech

The Playaz, who own a majority of the broadcasting stations in Georgia, opted to air an episode of the classic comedy variety show "Hee-Haw" instead of President Obama's planned speech to the nation's school children.

Georgia area students sat quietly as they prepared for a raucous, uproariously good time from the Kornfield County gang while many other school children were forced to watch a boring speech by a man in a suit saying words that nobody cares about or understands.

The kids were enthralled by such skits as "The Cornfield Jokes", "Pickin' and-a' Grinnin'", "The Naggers" (Gordi Tapp and Roni Stoneman), and were especially excited when they shouted "What's for supper?!" at Grandpa Jones.

Musical numbers by the late Hager Twins and the Hee-Haw Gospel Quartet were included.

"We felt the children learned a great deal today. For example, the sketch involving Junior Samples and Roy Clark as grade-school students, with Minnie Pearl as their befuddled teacher, gave the students an idea of what classroom learning is all about," the Playaz said.
