Philadelphia Named "Angriest City In America"
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphians, don't freak out, but the City of Brotherly Love has just been named the angriest city in America.
The website Thrillest gave us the unwanted honor.
They even said calling Philadelphia "the City of Brotherly Love" is ironic.
They cite the reputation of Philly sports fans, including Flyers fans throwing bracelets on the ice, and of course, Eagles fans throwing snowballs at Santa Claus, as part of the reason Philadelphia tops the list.
"Some of the elements are similar to Boston -- the insecurity when comparing themselves to NY that manifests itself as over-the-top bravado; the penchant for street festivals devolving into public urine and vomit competitions; an accent that sounds like someone threw a chainsaw into a trash fire filled with gravel, etc."
Some call it anger, but we prefer the term passionate.
