From the World’s Biggest A@#hole to its Biggest Saint?
He is indeed the world’s biggest a@#hole and his name is (or was), Coleman Sweeney. Okay, this is all fiction, but we’ve all known a Coleman Sweeney or two throughout our lives. In fact, I knew a guy named Ted who could have played the part of Coleman quite naturally. Ironically, he too died early on.
But the point of this isn’t to talk about a@#holes, it’s to talk about redemption. This new video about Coleman (or it’s new to me anyway) is getting a lot of play on social media precisely because it’s so brilliantly written and executed. It combines raw, unabashed, redneck humor with the very serious if not controversial topic of organ donation.
In the video, Coleman Sweeney walks around his small town going out of his way to make everyone around him uncomfortable and miserable. Like the video narrator says, he feels the world owes him something, and therefore he takes delight in breaking the rules of a normal, decent, law abiding society. He’s even an a@#hole to kids.
