OH...SO WE'RE UGLY NOW?

Calumny!

According to the morons over @ travel and leisure, Philadelphia, in an overwhelming vote, is the ugliest city in the U.S.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed on Friday.

The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly, according to the "America's Favorite Cities" survey by Travel & Leisure magazine and CNN Headline News.

About 60,000 people responded to the online survey -- at www.travelandleisure.com -- which ranked 25 cities in categories including shopping, food, culture, and cityscape, said Amy Farley, senior editor at the magazine.

For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington DC and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people, the poll found.

But Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit.

"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia," she said.

"The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit."

Philadelphians' self-esteem has been undermined by national surveys showing they are among the fattest people in the United States. The American Obesity Association ranked the city in the top 10 for overweight people every year between 2000 and 2005.

And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion in any of its four main sports since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983.

Now, i've traveled quite a bit, and had a chance to see goodly portion of the denz in a number of towns. Let me tell you, philly doesn't hold a candle to some of the brain scarring fug mugs i've been a witness to.

(i see you tulsa!)

Im not gonna stand up here and say that every woman in the city is a tomato and every dude is an adonis, cuz we DO have our fair share of the trog(lodyte), but dang. Also, what(is a) city is without its beasties?

In addition, im also taking umbrage @ philly being considered "least stylish" and "least wordly". I'll save my vitriol on that for later.

I mean we're fat, we're dirty, and now - to add insult to injury - we're ugly too?

Egregious Lies.

Btw...my Dallas and DC people, wipe the smug off your fugly faces. Yall aren't too far behind.
