Marketing, as good as it gets
News item: Detroit named the "Greatest City on the Earth" in the current issue of Maxim magazine while dismissing the 12 runner ups with scathing comments.
News item: Philadelphia named the "Greatest City on the Earth" in the current issue of Maxim magazine while dismissing the 12 runner ups with scathing comments.
News item: San Francisco named the "Greatest City on the Earth" in the current issue of Maxim magazine while dismissing the 12 runner ups with scathing comments.
News item: Ten other U.S. cities named the "Greatest City on the Earth" in the current issue of Maxim magazine while dismissing the 12 runner ups with scathing comments.
Bonehead award two goes to Maxim, a men's lifestyle magazine, for deep sixing their credibility by coming out with 13 different versions of their magazine, with each set declaring a different city as the best in the world, while insulting the twelve runner-ups, and then distributing each set to a region nearest the winning city. Except for the New York City version that is, which was mistakenly sent to Philadelphia where Philly residents got to see themselves described as a lard ass with arteries packed as tight as a Colombian airline passenger's G.I. tract,? and their city described as a glorified piss break between New York and D.C.
When the Detroit Free Press, noticing that they were the best city on earth, asked the publisher if other cities were involved, the publisher flat-out lied, saying there wasn't and that "everything we said about Detroit, we meant." Which is unfortunate because in other versions of the magazine they wrote that Detroit is a "dismal wasteland of abandoned warehouses and Kid Rock wannabes," and continued that the best thing they can say about Detroit is that it's not quite Canada.
