Bobby Farelly tells the Boston Herald, "We need good weather, so we have to head south. And unfortunately... Georgia has a better tax incentive and that's huge. We save millions by going down there and you just can't talk the studio out of it."
 

They save millions by coming to Georgia and spending millions! You get it right?
