exterminate that louisiana mullet, billy

I can't believe that I hadn't discovered this show until yesterday:

Billy the Exterminator is a reality show about, you guessed it, a man named Billy who is an exterminator in Shreveport, Louisiana. Billy's show supports the vision of Oh, Louisiana - that is, to celebrate and deplore the ridiculousness that is the 18th state - in the following ways.

1. Do you see that hair? Case closed.
2. Of all the wonders in Louisiana, television has only picked up on two reasons that the state exists: unwanted animals and redneck crime.
3. Billy rides around in a black pickup truck with cages in the back.
4. In a bio of Billy's wife Mary on the website, it says "She once incited a prison riot, but it wasn't her fault."
5. You can buy autographed Vexcon Mardi Gras beads at their online store.
6. Seriously, do you see that hair? You will not see that style in any other state, I promise you.
7. Billy earned "a masters certification for termite control at LSU." Who else would offer a masters certification for termite control?

This is for the comments: on the link to A&E's message boards on Billy the Exterminator, the text reads: "Does Billy think he's a heartthrob?" Discuss.
