Interesting....

From VirtueOnline: America's Most Sinful Cities:

Here are the sins and the top cities in each sinful category:

Most Lustful: Denver ranked first, joined by San Antonio, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Boise, Washington, DC, Cincinnati, Columbus, Baltimore and Buffalo/Rochester.

The research firm of AC Nielson used sales figures for contraceptives and sex items in ranking the list.

Most Jealous: Memphis tops the list, followed by Charlotte, San Antonio, Seattle, Providence, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Columbus, Oklahoma City, Chicago.

The rankings were linked to crime rates for personal property.

Most Obese [Gluttony]: Memphis, Birmingham, San Antonio, Riverside/San Bernardino, Detroit, Jacksonville, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, San Diego.

Health statistics drove this listing.

Most Greedy [Averice]: San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Boston, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington, Miami.

The rankings on this sin were determined by looking at the concentration of great wealth.

Most Murderous [Wrath]: The crime statistics are clear -- the most murderous city is Detroit, followed by Baltimore, New Orleans, Newark, St. Louis, Oakland, Washington DC, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Buffalo.

Most Sedentary [Sloth]: Memphis tops this list as well, followed by New Orleans, Las Vegas, Detroit, Birmingham, Louisville, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Nashville, and Miami.

No notes on how this was ranked was listed, but I assume it's something like hours of TV watching.

Most Vain [Pride]: "Pride is supposed to be a deadly sin. When it comes to their looks, however, fewer Americans are seeing it that way," say the reporters, who used plastic surgery as the marker for this sin. Perhaps surprisingly, Salt Lake City ranked first, followed by San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Miami, Louisville, Nashville, Virginia Beach, New York, and Los Angeles.

Wow, Boston only made the list for Greedy? It's been around a lot longer than Seattle, which racked up Lustful, Jealous and Greedy. . .

Seattle has the best sins. I'm proud.

They take their food, sleep and envy seriously there.

I'd prefer food, sleep and greed, but two out of three ain't bad.

Gawrsh, so much for "sin city"... just 1 'prize'...

(...what would you call the sin equivalent of an Oscar?)

Wow, LA is only on 2, and ranks low on them...

I blame the fact that LA is so darn BIG. It would take a LOT of sin to get around.
