what do they do to the BBQ to do it wrong in Memphis?

They cook the crap out of it until it is as dry as paper, and then they try to rectify that by smothering it with ketchup-based bbq sauce (which only tends to burn it that much more).
It tastes dry, burned, and old. Blecchh!
And don't get me started on those fools in North Carolina. They actually put cole slaw on bbq! According to Lewis Grizzard, the 11th commandment was supposed to have been "Thou shalt not put no damn cole slaw on bbq."
You gotta cook it low and slow, low and slowwwwww. And use a vinegar-based sauce so it won't burn and dry out the meat.
