They probably think this thread is about them.

Gotta have something to be vain about to be vain.

Mass Dunning Kruger effect

Vain as in otiose? Then I agree with the list.

An unofficial survey conducted by a crappy website...

I'm way cooler than them.

I think this article is about me.

Am I so vain?

What gave it away? Was it the Bentleys and Ferraris on every street corner, or the massive homes and high rise condos everywhere you turn?

It's all those bastards flying their lear jets to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun that pisses me off. Why can't they fly coach like everyone else?

I would have thought it was LA. A friend moved there recently, and from what I hear there are ads for weight-loss fads and plastic surgeons everywhere. Kinda figures, given the main industry is Hollywood.

/And the San Fernando Valley is right next door.

The good folks up in Palm Beach are more private and less ostentacious about their vanity then those Miami jackwads.

/Loxahatchee?

the only "eye" i remember seeing in Miami was a starfish shaped eye......

"Miami is located in Florida, not in Massachusetts."

But Florida is in Massachusetts.

/obscure

Doesn't Miami have the most leased cars per capita of any U.S. city? I think I read that somewhere once.

Phoenix is 5th? Seriously? What the hell do we have to vain about here?

minoridiot: Vain as in otiose? Then I agree with the list.

Jeez, I'll bet you're a regular Scrabble ubermensch.

shiat I forgot to put the "be" in my above post.

See? What vanity?

Vain?
Of course.
There are two "I"'s in Miami.

Miami at #1 makes sense. But Chicago is #2? Ahead of NYC, LA, and Dallas?

Oh, non-randomized survey. Never mind.

Anyone who thinks Miami is something special, has to very vain to begin with.

Parts of Miami are so bad....there are bars on windows of high rise buildings.....way beyond the first floor

If you grew up in Chicago, you pretty much *have* to think you're much better looking than those other slobs. The alternative is unthinkable.

It's more a self-defense mechanism than true vanity.

-self

/sigh

The Shadow knows, subby.

The thing about Miami isn't so much the vanity but how unjustified it is. There are endless amounts of shiatty people who have this inflated sense of self-worth. That's why it's probably also one of the most needlessly hostile places I've ever been. Everyone thinks they're important, and everything anyone else does is an affront to that.

The results of self-reported surveys on web sites are definitely worth discussing.

beta_plus: Miami at #1 makes sense. But Chicago is #2? Ahead of NYC, LA, and Dallas?

The list doesn't surprise me at all. Some of the most smug, self-important assholes I've EVER met have come from those two cities.

They all act like there's something wrong with YOU for not being FROM there. Fark off.

Uh, every good looking female marketing major from a party school in a three state radius comes to Chicago.

/Not vain, proud.

hicksfa2: They all act like there's something wrong with YOU for not being FROM there. Fark off.

Cleveland. lulz!

You almost had us going.

Miami near the beach: Hot chicks, money, diversity and assholes.
Miami near the swamp: Fat chicks, insects and assholes.

hicksfa2: They all act like there's something wrong with YOU for not being FROM there. Fark off.

Well, yeah, there is.

/Chicagoan

The bar is set very low for the midwest so chicago hubris is inevitable.

Arkanaut: I would have thought it was LA. A friend moved there recently, and from what I hear there are ads for weight-loss fads and plastic surgeons everywhere.

When I moved from Chicago to LA, it cracked me up that the alternative paper, the LA Weekly, looked exactly like the Chicago Reader. Except that 90% of the LA ads were for plastic surgery or botox.

Arkanaut: I would have thought it was LA.
jso2897: Los Angeles is only sixth?

LA has a professional class for vanity. Regular residents tend to somewhat leave the vanity and assholity to the professionals. But then again there is still a good amount of vanity - just compare the student bodies at the top two U Cal campuses. Berkeley students tend to be more nerdish and more concerned with academics than appearances while UCLA students are much more appearance oriented.

I think it's the tits, really.

halfof33: Uh, every good looking female marketing major from a party school in a three state radius comes to Chicago.

/Not vain, proud.

You're making my point for me. They're not actually good looking, it's just a relativistic thing compared to the natives.

/native Chicagoan
//Actually good-looking, unlike the rest of you sorry bastards

How is la not in this list!?!

La is the worst city on the face of this planet, it's full of jersey shore rejects, hair gelled douche bags and money grubbing whores.

They should build a wall north of camp Pendleton and south of orange county to keep the human filth from la out.

Will the curse of Don Johnson never end?


Apparently Not.

M'as tu-vu?

boob job, face lift and a black BMW

DubyaHater: What gave it away? Was it the Bentleys and Ferraris on every street corner, or the massive homes and high rise condos everywhere you turn?

Or the plastic surgeons' offices on every corner? Or the fact that they walk into a room like they were walking onto a yacht?

/happy to see Carly Simon represented on Fark

My first thought

snarkasaurus: The Shadow knows, subby

Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.......

I bet it thinks this thread is about it...

I was born in Chicago. You couldn't pay me enough to go back there.
