Detroit is number one!

Nice to see its "sister city", Flint, eked out a spot at number three.

As soon as I saw that this was an Overlord thread, I knew the answer.

They list NY as fourth on the most miserable list, but I've been pretty happy here. The only time I ever left was for six months, and I came running back.

Hey I'm only 45 minutes away from #2, Stockton, CA. Good choice. That city is about as fun as an infant's funeral.

You need to hit a few with me, cause I put the "fun" back in inFUNt FUNeral.

I have a few choice jokes which are a big hit for such an occasion.

Whenever I see Overlord's chuckling Emperor avatar I just imagine him snidely giggling to himself about the increasingly-embarrassing state Detroit's in, no matter where he is or what he's doing.

And you would be right! Every day I get just a bit of glee over just how rotten of a state Detroit is in.

Does this make me evil? Actually, it may ...

Another reason why Michigan sucks: JUMPER takes place in Ann Arbor.

Now I just keep thinking of a Simpsons-style montage of Overlord (who may or may not be Mr. Burns) going through a whole week just laughing about Detroit's awfulness. Though it would also be an awesome montage to do with Emperor Palpatine in an utterly Star Wars setting but still keeping the fact that he's laughing about Detroit.

How long before they just wall the whole city off and pour concrete over it?

Have to say, I'd watch that. If only for the suspense that he might not make it this time...

I prefer the concrete idea. At least there'd be plenty of parking. Besides, I don't even want to entertain the possibility of Carpenter and Russell doing another sequel to that.

I just want to go to Detroit and observe the decay like some wildlife expert. It'd be fascinating. Plus I could catch a Red Wings game. Tickets are like, what? 5 bucks? Do they even HAVE money in Detroit anymore?

I suggest we start a "Detroit: America's Taint" thread. I still love that the Mayor might even be a murderer.

You can be the Crocodile Hunter of urban decay, Doc.

This would be even funnier if it was found that he actually had dual fish shaped showheads.

And speaking of Detroit, we better keep an eye out on Brian Cox and make sure he's not reenacting his role from Manhunt.

Detroit would make such an excellent TV show.

That perhaps would be the only time I'd seriously sit down to watch reality tv.
