Okay, this is so over the top irreverent and slams everybody everywhere such that I have to admit it made me smile. Guilty pleasure or hard truths? What do you think? [Click or tap image below to open larger view in new window]

Obviously tongue in cheek, but I would say, generally speaking, reads about 20 years out-of-date, at least with the areas I'm most familiar with.
Thats funny hope you dont mind if i share this
The most insulting thing about the map is that it doesn't include Downriver.
I'll give the author credit though; he/she generally knows the localized variations. For the Bloomfields, for instance, they got the Jewish part, the more Republican part, and the perceived highest class part.
What's with Steve Urkel for Oak Park and formerly rural for Farmington? I guess they got bored?
If I remember right, these are created by skimming through posts on various websites and labeling cities with the most common terms, which is why it may be out of date or Steve Urkel might come up for Oak Park.
For Farmington Hills they should say "corporate transfers doing their time in "Detroit"
It needs to be something mean and snarky, in line with the other labels, though. Farmington Hills could be "ethnics who can't afford Novi" or something.Quote:

Judgemental maps has become pretty popular website, people submit humorous maps that stereotype the various parts of their city.Quote:

I know what a judgmental map is. My question was what is the point in posting it here. Most people don't need a map to be judgmental.
I chuckled.
"Poor strippers" in Warren. Okay, but "rich strippers" in Utica or west of Utica? That makes no sense at all. What am I missing?
To be blunt, Macomb has a [[probably unfair) rep. for being somewhat more trashy and tacky than the average county. So the "poor" [[enter unsavory profession) would live in South Warren [[aka Macomb's ghetto) and the "rich" [[enter unsavory profession) would live in "Utica" [[really the townships north of Hall Rd.).Quote:

Good question. I'm still trying to get my question answered.Quote:

So, Bham, know any nice nannies out your way? I want some phone numbers...
LOL, if I knew, I wouldn't tell. :rolleyes:Quote:
