Does this blog make me look ugly?

Have I told you lately how much I love Philadelphia and how proud I am to have been born there and still live a ladder's view away from the city? I'm about to.

PHILADELPHIA, PA (Reuters) - 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.

Screw you, CNN. It takes a lot of guts to sit there in Atlanta, of all places, and tell us that we are not stylish or worldly.

But T & L magazine editor Amy Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit.
"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia," she said. "The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit."

So, why bring it up at all? And boy, isn't it great to hear that the editors believe that there are a lot of attractive people here. My life is complete.
I've never figured out what all those "most attractive" resident surveys were all about. Who is judging this and how can they possibly rank cities? Here's a news flash: There are ugly people everywhere and attractive people everywhere. There's no point in a list saying that one city is more attractive than another, and I'll put Philadelphia up against any other city on your list for arts, culture, sports, entertainment or food.
Visitors have no perspective on anything after spending a vacation here, and residents have no perspective because they only know Philadelphia.
Your survey is judged as being irrelevant.
