Stupid cities. Did your's rank? Mine sure did!

So Men's Health magazine recently ran an article Ranking 101 of the largest cities in the US on their intelligence. Article Link My town, which I will not argue houses some very ignorant and stupid people, ranked 101...the stupidest city on the list. Now, if you read the article, they ranked them on mainly accademic values and not on the populace themselves, but I kinda take offense to the list. I mean I may not like this city or the majority of its population, but I'm one of them....I feel like now if I leave my town and someone asks where I'm from, I'll be ashamed to tell them....am I taking this too personal?

Yes. It's a poll in a sucky magazine. Go outside and go drinking.

you only say that cos yours is smart!

Men's Health is soft core gay porn, who gives a shit what those nancy -boys think... don't take it personal and hold you head high as a proud citizen of wherever you are from ..what Indiana ? well,...anyway..nevermind.

According to Men's Health, which is like Cosmo saying that your city "smells nice".

In other words? It don't mean shit.

Heh. My city got an A+. Second smartest city! YEAH!

Ha Ha! If only they ran an account of the stupidest cities in the world, I'd invite them over to show them how stupid really works!

Exeter, Devon, UK, Home of the ugliest , stupidest , most narrow minded people on the planet!

I don't fancy yours much!

bah. Fresno is #64, a C-. Can't say I'm surprised, but that's the same GPA as the president!

of course, 6 of the top 15 are in California, so there!

What?! It has articles?!!

YAY! Cleveland's not stupid!

You know what they say about a D-,,, "D- is for D-iploma!"

If D+ is for detroit.
Mentally Handicapped is for Men's Health
Stupid fuckers called us the fattest city last year. Any magazine that uses stupid lists to grab attention is nothing more than a turd rag.

Miami is 94th with a D-.

Woot! That's a passing grade here.

Woo! Richmond, VA C +

Fuck yeah!

Er.

74. Cleveland, OH D+

i already knew this though.

you don't have to be smart to ROCK! just remember that!

Denver's #3?? How is that possible???

Columbus got a B+, Cincinnati a B-... that's as close to Dayton as Men's Health ever gets.

One of our local radio DJs mentioned the article the other night, talking about how Fort Wayne was pretty pissed, and that there was an editorial in one of their papers titled "So They Say We're Not the Brightest Bulb in the Box."

Don't know if that's true, but I still laughed like crazy. It's a magazine for god's sake.

So if my boy moved here to Seattle from Ft. Wayne, does that make him smart? Or do I just get to tease him a lot more now?

That should be "Did yours rank?" without an apostrophe.

My city got an A.

</snark>

and just for good measure:

The city 30 miles away got a D+ (ours is too small to count) and I'm not surprised. Damn Riverside...damn it to hell.
