So the other day I proudly announced that Yahoo proclaimed Charlottesville the #1 city to live in the US. We beat out some very beautiful places like Santa Fe and Santa Barbara. Yahoo bestowed this honor to C-Ville because of our healthy lifestyle (me not included) outdoors and scenery, decent economy and clean air. So when I mentioned this during my show, to my surprise I was inundated with negative and sarcastic calls poo-pooing such a positive review of our town. Here were some of the comments:
"Did they take into account the poor road designs (Route 29)"
"This is a boring place to live. The only thing to do is to go to the movies"
"Did they take into account all the corrupt politicans in this town?"
"If you're homeless, this is your kind of town because Charlottesville embraces that lifestyle."
"Did Yahoo look at The Freedom wall??? Lots of curse words and graphic sexual cartoons." (I think the art work is impressive myself).
Well, after all the calls, text messages and e-mails, I called Yahoo and told them that the people of Charlottesville did not agree with this award. After playing some of your calls they agreed and asked me who I thought would be deserving of this award. I said give it to Detroit. Have you ever been? I believe Satan created Detroit and made it his own Hell on earth. Satan also created the Lions which we are all forced to watch on Thanksgiving (I'd rather crawl in the turkey's rump for 3 hours and fall asleep) Detroit smells like my toilet after a night of nachos and Jim Beam. It's cold, the economy is in the Sh*% er and it looks like a scene from the movie "Independence Day" …after the aliens gave the earth a massive enema. Bottom line, if you live in Detroit you should be given automatic Sainthood!
Yahoo agreed! Congrats Detroit you're now #1…at least they'll be appreciative.
You're welcome.
