Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

what did you like about it

i went for a few days but didn't get to see much

Barcelona is a great city. I've got people there but its not mult dimensional enough to be considered one of the greatest.

Tokyo is up there near LA. NYC is high but doesn't come close.

I agree with you but for opposite reasons.

NYC

NYC

NYC

Tokyo and LA are nice places to visit, but living in either place would suck royally.

6/18/2010 10:55:53 AM

I don't even think Tokyo is that interesting of a place to visit. Which probably means I've been there way too many times

6/18/2010 11:04:37 AM

^^another person who is confused about this thread topic

again

greatest does not necessarily mean best place to live. best place to live is going to be determined completely by personal preference. Greatest is at least partially based on facts.

I could understand someone saying they wouldnt want to live in la or "its not all that" but saying its shitty just screams jealousy to me. Its too polar and absurd.

A question for those who say LA is "shitty". Why do so many rich and famous people choose to live in a "shitty" place?

6/19/2010 12:12:11 PM

Because they don't actually live in LA.

6/19/2010 12:18:14 PM

SF shits on LA

6/19/2010 12:26:51 PM

yeah they do. which is why you see them out all the time, at the grove, farmers market, lakers games, santa monica, rodeo, beverly center and theyre all pretty proud of la. Many don't even work in LA that much. movies are being filmed all over the world now.

6/19/2010 12:35:09 PM

the rich and famous are what make it shitty
and the sprawl

cities should go UP not OUT

the future is today
Elisha Otis' dream must be fulfilled

6/19/2010 12:37:02 PM

I've spent a ton of time in LA and it's a great place to visit-for like a week.

If I had to live in SoCal again, I'd probably move back to SD. Venice is the only area in LA I'd ever even consider.

The Bay area is just so much nicer though. Quit stealing our water

6/19/2010 12:41:06 PM

sprawl is awful (for the environment and oil use) i agree but thats just because so many people keep wanting to live near la. the city is pretty dense. Its not like you HAVE to go far to get places theres just so many places.

[Edited on June 19, 2010 at 12:44 PM. Reason : ^we're not talking about best places to live]

6/19/2010 12:43:24 PM

NYC, prague, barcelona.

my favorite area is bavaria though

6/19/2010 12:44:06 PM

This shits on everything and everybody in this thread.

6/19/2010 12:45:09 PM

Now, now, everyone knows this is the greatest city in the world:

"NEW YORK—At 4:32 p.m. Tuesday, every single resident of New York City decided to evacuate the famed metropolis, having realized it was nothing more than a massive, trash-ridden hellhole that slowly sucks the life out of every one of its inhabitants. With audible murmurs of "This is no way to live," "What the hell am I doing here—I hate it here," and "Fuck this place. Fuck this horrible place," all 8.4 million citizens in each of the five boroughs packed up their belongings and told reporters they would rather blow their brains out with a shotgun than spend another waking moment in this festering cesspool of filth and scum and sadness. By 5:15 p.m. there was gridlock traffic on the outbound sides of the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, and the area's three major airports were flooded with New Yorkers, all of whom said they wanted to go anyplace where the pressure of 20 million tons of concrete wasn't constantly suffocating them. "I always had this perverted sense of pride because I was managing to scrape by here," said Brooklyn resident Andrew McQuade, who, after watching two subway rats gnawing on a third bloody rat carcass, finally determined that New York City was a giant sprawling cancer. "Well, fuck that. I don't need to pay $2,000 a month to share a doghouse-sized apartment with some random Craigslist dipshit to prove my worth. I want to live like a goddamn human being." "You see this?" added McQuade, pointing at a real estate listing for a duplex in Hagerstown, MD. "Two bedrooms, two baths, a den—a fucking den—and a patio. Twelve hundred a month. That's total, not per person." According to residents, the mass exodus was triggered by a number of normal, everyday New York City events. For Erin Caldwell of Manhattan, an endlessly honking car horn sent her over the edge, causing her to go into a blind rage and scream "shut up!" at the vehicle as loud as she could until her voice went hoarse; for Danny Tremba of Queens it was being cursed at for walking too slow; and for Paul Ogden, also of Queens, it was his overreaction to somebody walking too slow. Other incidents that prompted citizens to pick up and leave included the sight of garbage bags stacked 5 feet high on the sidewalk; the realization that being alone among millions of anonymous people is actually quite horrifying; a blaring siren that droned on and fucking on; muddy, refuse-filled puddles that have inexplicably not dried in three years; the thought of growing into a person whose meanness and cynicism is cloaked in a kind of holier-than-thou brand of sarcasm that the rest of the world finds nauseating; and all the goddamn people. In addition, 3 million New Yorkers reportedly left the city because they realized the phrase "Only in New York" is actually just a defense mechanism used to convince themselves that seeing a naked man take a shit on a park bench is somehow endearing, or part of some shared cultural experience. SLIDESHOW New York City "I was sitting on my stoop, drinking coffee, and out of nowhere this crazy-looking woman just starts screaming, 'I am inside all of you,' over and over," Bronx resident Sarah Perez, 37, said. "Then, we both had this moment where we looked at each other and realized, okay, we have to get out of here." "This place sucks," Manhattan resident Woody Allen, 74, told reporters. "It just fucking sucks." When fleeing New Yorkers were asked if they would miss the city's iconic landmarks, most responded that Central Park is just a pathetic excuse for experiencing actual nature, that the Brooklyn Bridge is great but it's just a fucking bridge, that nobody goes to the Met anyway, and that living in a dingy, grime-caked apartment while exhaust fumes from an idling truck seep through your bedroom window isn't worth slightly bigger bagels. "This is no place to raise a kid, that's for sure," said 32-year-old Brandon Rushing, a lifelong New Yorker. "I grew up here and I turned into a giant asshole. Why would I want that for my son?" "Plus, we're the place most likely to get nuked by a dirty bomb in a terrorist attack," he added. "So that's great. Also, it smells like shit here, and I'm not exaggerating. You'll just be walking around and it starts smelling like human shit, and it just fills your nostrils and you breathe in shit for like 20 seconds." Before departing by private helicopter, Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke with members of the media to address the situation. "You know what the greatest city in the world is?" Bloomberg asked reporters. "Scottsdale, Arizona. It's clean, it's not too big, it's got a couple streets with shops and restaurants, and the people there aren't fucking insane. This place is fucking insane. And by the way, that's not a reason to like it. Anyone who says that is a delusional dirtbag." By Tuesday night, New York was completely abandoned. At press time, however, some 10 million Los Angeles–area residents, tired of their self-centered, laid-back culture and lack of four distinct seasons, and yearning for the hustle and bustle of East Coast life, had already begun repopulating the ci"

my favorite city is Berlin

but that's probably has a lot to do with my German blood...it feels like home

also, the fact that I haven't been to too many cities

9/4/2010 6:15:58 PM

Berlin is one of my all time favorites.

LA will always be a second class city in comparison to NY. Keep on whining troll, it's not going to change the truth.

I would respond to your post fully, but im in Malibu tanning.

9/4/2010 7:34:08 PM

lol Mailbu is a shit hole.

9/4/2010 7:37:17 PM

i say Mali, you say booo.

9/4/2010 7:41:14 PM

how can LA be the greatest city in the world if they don't fill up hotel vacancies with homeless people?

9/4/2010 7:46:21 PM

I'd say Munich, for an awesome better America, or Barcelona for just a radtastic 5 city.

9/4/2010 8:04:23 PM

its not the best because the entire city is nice. I know a lot of LA is really shitty

its the best because it has more culture, shopping/dining/entertainment, geography and types of things to do than anywhere else in the world.

Some cities rival it in a few of those areas but no city comes close to rivaling LA in every area.

Sure the traffic is shitty but thats what happens when you have a great city, everyone wants to live there.
