Who's Ugly?




On Friday Travel & Leisure released data on their survey that asks 'Where are the ugliest people in the Nation?' Philadelphia tops the list, with Washington following not far behind.

According to Travel & Leisure (T & L), the online survey that asked surveyors to rank cities by categories (including--shopping, food, culture, and cityscape) was not intended to discourage tourism. Senior editor of T & L, Amy Farley expressed,"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia."

"The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit." Farley noted.

To make matters worst, ABC News coverage of this story ended with this:

[about Philllys diminishing self-esteem] "And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion in any of its four main sports since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983." --from ABCNews

Topic: Gold
So I'm turning into my grandma. For some reason, she cannot resist a new pair of gold shoes. Thats all she wears. For the last couple months, I've found myself following the same pattern. It's the strangest thing. They can be cloth, metalic, suade; it really doesn't matter. If they are gold, I'm eyeing them.
Is it just me or is gold making a comeback?
