As far away removed as I am--physically and in my way of life--from dim-witted Scottish shepherd ball stars, I have to wonder if the feature is really *saying* that people like Hamish exist or are in any way typical of the Hebrides, or if it's just a "wouldn't it be wacky if there was this guy who..." sort of thing. It makes me wonder where the outrage is over Snuffy Smith. Those people don't even DRESS like real rednecks. That “Hot Shot Hamish” is interesting.

Not quite yet, once ebook readers jump a couple of generations (and at the same time fall in price) then yes... “I have seen the death of printed newspapers and magazines.”
