You'll never guess which city has the ugliest fan base:
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 . . . 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.
Who would've guessed that the least attractive people live where New Jersey meets Pennsylvania? Not me, but of course I've been to St. Louis. I assume now that the swamp village on the mighty Mississippi utilizes half of its budget to bribe the compilers of polls such as this. And why would Philly's self-esteem be undermined by being fat? My home town has won that title several times, including last year, and we wear it as a badge of honor. I guess that what makes us cool . . . and very heavy breathers. -KD


Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Considering that Philadelphia was the former sports home of TO, Eric Lindros, and Rod Brind'amour…are you surprised?
This just in, the sky is blue.
WAHOO! NOT BOSTON!
It's Always Ugly in Philadelphia.
Charlie and Dee are all they need.
Gimme a Whiz with. I'm prepared to deal with the consequences.
What happened to Detroit? Man, we tried so hard this year too!
I've visited Philly one time in my life, and within the span of less than 12 hours I:
1) Got in a fistfight with a cheesesteak vendor (you can't make stuff like that up,) and,
2) Had sex with a Jersey chick I met at a club stuck in the 80's (sadly, this was in 1998.)
From this, you should learn that cheesesteak vendors are douchebags, and in the 90's I would have sex with anything that moved.

I have a friend (more like acquaintance) who is from Philly who goes by the name Dee, so there you go.

Was she known as the Aluminum Monster in high school?
Living in St. Louis and just recently being in Philly, I'd have to agree with this statement. Although, it seems like every woman in Philly has a nice ass, but that may have been the coke-freak ravers I was hanging out with at the time.
Frankly, I question the results. According to the survey, NYC residents think Chicago has better pizza. Since that's obviously nonsense, how can we trust any of it?
There are a lot of fat people in Philly though.
