Validation That Your Life Sucks
 |
How miserable is Philly? The residents of the City of Brotherly Love once booed Santa Claus and pelted him with snowballs at an Eagles game. Maybe it's the long commutes, violent crime and plethora of toxic waste sites that has people grumpy. Philadelphia scored in the top 20 in all three areas.
Zzzzzzzzz... oh, I'm sorry, I've read "booed Santa Claus" so many times that my brain automatically shuts down when I see it. Anyway, the most miserable city in the country is Detroit, and number three is Flint. Eat it, Michigan, we're way better than you! Meanwhile, Forbes' plan to get people to write about them has worked again with another stupid list.

At least we're less miserable than New York. Thank God for New York.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, we just happen to get a lot of it.

At least Forbes named the Phanatic best Mascot. I thought Forbes was a financial company and not one that makes subjective lists.
