Hagerstown: Might As Well Just Quit Now

Bethesda! Hotness rankings! NBCwashington.com's ridiculous sidebar poll! Ladies and gentlemen, it was pretty clear what article wins this week's award for highlighting the least news possible in one go. Quoting a blog post which quotes the Atlanta Fox affiliate's website's collaboration with something called TotalBeauty.com, writer Matthew Stabley obviously tried his best, but we can't help but think that he kind of buried the lede here. Isn't the real news that Hagerstown men have "a 30 percent obesity rate" with "fewer than 10 percent holding bachelor's degrees"? On that note, the real kudos goes to whichever editor who came up with the subhead of "Women find Hagerstown men homely." Phew, how the website's readers could rate this boring, I have no idea.

When I was dating, census data wasn't my first choice for determining where I might meet a potential partner.
