Okay, I almost never post. But, thought this could stir up some emotion............

[domenad]

Brotherly love...even for the women.

[surely_you_jest]

Gee. I would have figured Boston . . . .

[republicanwizard]

&*@$ yous people. :)

Personally, I think Andy Reid is the poster boy for Philly. Says it all.

[Colofornian]

I suppose the city could take some pride in having 80% Democrats. (Yeah, right)

[jdub]

I agree. I was in Philly once, went to a baseball game, and was struck by just how many absolutely butt-ugly people were there. Ugliest bunch I’ve ever seen.

[NativeSon]

Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States,

Whew! luckily, I moved!

HAHAHAHAHAH! Thank you, Philadelphia, and Gov. Rendell, for transporting so many of your ugly ducklings to our little town of Williamsport, PA.

Now we can revel in their sense of style: pants slung low over cheesy underwear; gross tattoos; baseball hats on backwards; oversized white tee-shirts.

We can enjoy looking at their unusual physiques: women so big you can’t tell if they’re preggers with quints or just plain fat.

Their lifestyle: Sitting on the porch in midafternoon, when taxpayers are out working, drinking Ripple from brown paper bags.

Oh, Philadelphia, town of brotherly love and vision of William Penn: How far you have fallen!

Years ago I went to a game at old Veterans Stadium to watch the Iggles. Scared the living begeebers out of me. Really, no joke.

If they toured Kensington and Fishtown I can see their point. I grew up in philly. I’ve traveled all over the country. Unfortunately all of the northeast cold weather states are in the same group.

[CholeraJoe]

Just ahead of you-know-where.

Did you know that Kensignton is famous for inventing the ‘tooth brush’ ?

[NRA1995]

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.

Obviously, whoever did this survey didn't visit Dundalk, MD.

[malos]

All of the good looking taxpayers fled to the suburbs. I know. I am one.

Is that true? If so, why don’t they use them?

[The_Reader_David]

What??? Yeah, there are a lot of heavy folk in Philly, but

least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly????

Least stylish? Do visitors to Philly never go to Rittenhouse Square or South Street? Least active? Okay, most vistors don't got to Fairmont Park where most of the joggers are. Least friendly? Philadelphians are at least as friendly as New Yorkers, and way friendlier than Bostonians. Least worldly? Did Kansas City not show up on the survey list?

I think the survey must have been colored by folks who have never been to Philly and answered on the basis of old W.C. Fields jokes and the dim recollection of the days before the 1980's when Philly had only one semi-decent restaraunt.

[Palladin]

The reason? Food stamps. Since they get their food for free, they eat twice as much as needed.

[NativeSon]

Is that true? If so, why don’t they use them?

c'mon, wait for it... if it (toothbrush) was invented anywhere else, it would've been called a 'teethbrush'...

Sounds like those of us in Maryland owe you an apology for sending you refugees from Dundalk and Glen Burnie!
