As if! Does Boston suck more than D.C.?
So those hilarious New Yorkers at Gawker have started a poll, Does Boston Actually Suck More Than D.C.? Those kidders.
Ignoring the article’s obnoxiousness, they do make some valid points – last call is ridiculously early, the T SUCKS harder than a trannie hooker and fanaticism with the Red Sox does get annoying, especially for a Patriots fan like me yearning for more Pats coverage (although things have shifted slightly since 2003).
The Boston accent is mentioned. For the record, I agree that a hardcore Boston accent is like “nails on a chalkboard” but a New Yawk accent is like two hands full of nails on a chalkboard. Oh yea, I said it.
I also find it slightly ironic that they ignore the Knicks consistent suckitude and use the Celtics to sum up Boston’s all over suckiness.
I can take the article with a grain of salt. I’m not one of the uppity white Ivy League grads that the article’s commenters seem to think the city is filled with. But the one thing that did get me was a comment by a Philly native claiming Boston sucks worse than any city in the world. Philadelphia, the city that constantly stinks of rotten cow flesh and is on its, what, 250th homicide this year? Hi, Pot!
until the NFL Draft!
I have lived in all three cities (boston, nyc & dc) but grew up here – it’s a toss up on the answer but I like how they fit in every cliche they can think up except, when I lived in DC, it was full of democrat staffers….and making fun of the Celtics is like making fun of the Yanks in the 70/80s….or should I say…right now!
I especially like how they use the Celtics AFTER this blockbuster Garnett trade.
Angela I will have to correct you on Philly’s homicide rate just watch the news and its been confirm sadly another 1000 dead.
Well, if Boston sucks more than DC, than Baltimore still sucks more than either of those two. So at least you got that going. (#):)
Ha ha ha ha. we may not have sports like you, but we do have competitive snarking, like to draft 60-page reports over holiday weekends, and have an intricate system of eye-rolling and sighing for miscreants that don’t get the Metro system (which IS waaaay better than the T, so there!) How can anyone think we suck?
It’s amazing
