More anti-rural nonsense

I noticed one of the other reviews here says that "there's always something creepy about small towns." When you watch too much crap like this sure. TV episodes like this are meant to ingrain the viewer with ides that tight-knit rural communities where everybody knows each other are bad. Be honest with yourself, Has there ever been a town where cannibalism has actually happened like this?
