Philadelphia has the ugliest people in the country, according to Travel & Leisure Magazine. They had 60,000 responses in an online survey and Philadelphia took the prize. We are uglier than Washington, Dallas, San Antonio, and twenty-one other cities.
When accosted with the news, city Councilman Darrel Clarke said, “I’m a single guy so I can say, in all honesty, that while I don’t traditionally look at men to determine how attractive they are, I can tell you that we have the most attractive women of any city.” What a fitting time to assert one’s heterosexuality. (Come on: You don’t think it’s the gays who are making this city so ugly, do ya?!)
For anyone wondering, Miami came in dead-last. Respondents seem to think everyone in Miami is beautiful. Well, I’ve been to Miami and I can tell you unequivocally… Aw, shit. Why fight it? They’re right. {sigh}
Anyway, I am fairly certain the survey didn’t ask which city is ugliest and we won. They asked which city has the best looking people…and we lost. If it makes any Philadelphians feel better, we ranked 14th for intelligence. Those sexy beasts in Miami came in 23rd!
