I've always thought Van Halen or Aerosmith should cover that song.

That's because Salt Lake City is like the second coming of the Aryan race.

I guess if you get to pick who you want in your cult, you'd go with the dumb, pretty ones.

I just drove through that city and had to stop for gas and fast-food.

Ohmigod are the girls there gorgeous; I was shocked. It was like "The MTV Summer Break McDonald's" except they were wearing skiing clothes.

Or the girls are just having to prepare for being one of 15 wives.

Meh. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen around here.

I had some creep hitting on my daughter at the mall last week while we were Christmas shopping. She's 11.

/Native Utahn
//Really sick of the multiple wives sterotype.

Of course we are... we've got to have SOMETHING to take our minds off of the inability to get a good drink.

Three reasons why:
1) mormon girls - clean living, good genes (seriously, wow)

I guess if you get to pick who you want in your cult, you'd go with the dumb, pretty ones.

2) An over-abundance of all types of all types of professionals (including doctors) - mormons who went away to grad school and return to the family
3) too many cosmetic college grads (women who work part-time, then raise families, then work part-time)

 
masterj0n3z 2007-12-16 07:24:53 PM  
Why would we want multiple wives? Sex?

/What is the one food that causes a loss of sex drive in women?
//Wedding cake.
///Married to native Utahn.

 
masterj0n3z 2007-12-16 07:32:18 PM  
Oh, yeah, and SLC is around 50% LDS. So blaming the Mormons is a bit presumptive.

/Provo, on the other hand......

It's hard for Salt Lake City not to be vain. We've got the prettiest damn girls in the world here.

I once attended an athletic event at BYU, and was quite amazed at all the hotties there. There were no miniskirts or cleavage or exposed midriffs, but every girl there, and I mean every one, was slender and wore clingy, breast-hugging tops.

On the way back I decided to compare number of girls I saw with loose tops vs. number of girls with babies. The loose-tops won, but it was close, 6 to 5.

ZOMG!!!!1! IT IS A UTAH THREAD!!!1!!!one! QUICK BASH THE MORMONS!!!!1111!!!

News (at least here on fark): There are dumb ignorant people who don't tolerate others ideas and beliefs. Fark: Nope, Utah has the worst, most ignorant around. In fact they are the capital for ignorant people. And everyone there has mulitiple wives. Truth: This whole planet is filled with people who have no tolerance are are ignorant. The mormons don't do the multiple wives thing.

And really, having lived in Utah most of my life, no one I know has more then one wife. Just the people the news media flash across the screen. Get a new insult, it is old.
/sigh
//slashies for no good reason!!!

What's with all the 3 and 4-way ties? Kind of negates the whole idea of a top 10 list.

"How the Mormon settlers looked upon this valley, and felt that it was the promised land is beyond me. Maybe it looked different back then. Look at this thing, this temple. When I was and we moved here, Mom and Dad told me this was Disneyland.


Rightfully so. Been livin' with Mickey, Donald and the whole crew since."

SCO is based in Utah, near Salt Lake City.

Somehow, that seems REALLY appropriate.

SLC is the epicenter of the Mormon blight; a group who in my experience believes they are superior to every other being on FSM's green earth. Asshats, every one of them I've met.

 
studebaker hoch 2007-12-16 07:44:54 PM  
Anyone who watched the last Winter Olympics could see that that town is 100% full of itself.

OMFG.

/Look, Aspen owned the "cute ski town" thing back in like 1963. Your attempt is embarrassing at best. Grow up.

You, m'am, are a hypocrite. When you stop feeling superior to everyone that has a belief in a higher being, maybe you'll have room to talk.

/Yes I got that wrong on purpose

//Cause I'm an asshat

I have gotten tired of all the billboards advertising lipo and surgery using 13 year old girls as the models. Vanity, pull up a chair, you'll be here for a while. Sit next to Depression there. You're welcome to stay just don't get on our passive/agressive nerves.

 
superdude72 2007-12-16 07:56:18 PM  
Meh. They only look at the top 50 most populated cities. That leaves out Beverly Hills, Atherton, Winnetka, Grosse Pointe--the places where the trophy wives are concentrated. Plus Park Avenue isn't a city, it's a part of New York City, and the rest of the city brings down the average.

 
janene1242 2007-12-16 07:56:57 PM  
I'm surprised at the apparent non-humor many of you Utahns have. I'm sure if this was a thread about Arkansas you would say NOTHING of incest! Not a word!

The citizens of Salt lake City have elected one of the most liberal mayors in the nation. 63% of the city recently voted against banning same sex marriages. I don't think its the mormon stronghold it once was.

SHHHH...thats not until 2012 when they fire the pulse that will disrupt the ionosphere and create the NEW WORLD ORDER.
/Of course you can avoid this by having your soul recorded in the archives, then you will receive a ticket to one of the bunkers outside of SLC.

I live in Park City, and the 'vanity' coming out of Salt Lake is the vanity that Mormons feel about themselves. They think they are better than everyone, and look down on anyone who isn't Mormon. But wouldn't you? These poor Mormon saps are indoctrinated into a cult where they are told they become a GOD and get their own planet to rule over when they die. And they get special underwear or 'jezus jammies', just like Clark Kent!!!

Salt Lake City is the vain capital and liberal capital and the queer capital now then? Seems appropriate.

and yes, i'll bash the mormons. having spent the first half of my life as a mormon, and having half of my family as mormon.

my brother-in-law (a return missionary) said:

"the problem with mormon girls is that their whole lives they're told that they're special, the chosen ones, etc. so they end up with this attitude that god put one pussy on this earth, and it's theirs."

/paraphrased

 
You Die! 2007-12-16 08:26:18 PM  
Last week I visited a friend who just moved down to SLC. We went to the temple to see it all lit up at night (really does look like Disneyland) and made the mistake of asking someone which parts we (being non-Mormom) could visit and which we couldn't. The Sister politely informed us that they're not exclusive, you just need to be of a higher standard to enter. So, they're not vain, they're just of a higher standard. End of story.

 
You Die! 2007-12-16 08:28:23 PM

Hmm, maybe I should have taken that contracting job there last year.

Thought it was in the middle of nowhere.

But no beer?

That's a tough decision.

I drove through the Utah valley last summer. The number of billboards alone was sickening (the spirit of capitalism is alive and well, enough to make me choke), but the fact that well over half of them were for cosmetic surgery was just disturbing.

Two things:

1. Is it that hard to create one page with ten items so we don't have to click and click?

2. What's with the multiple ties? With such a subjective list, can you not have a clear 1-10 without a tie?

 
aquanaut 2007-12-16 08:36:08 PM  
But actually I LOVE Mormons right now, with Romney obliterating any chance of a Republican in the Whitehouse! Mormonism: the gift that keeps on giving!
Face it Mormons, when national polls say that America would rather have a woman or a black guy in the Whitehouse, you need to take a serious look at why people are freaked out by you.
