The same guy who made that fake Cleveland “tourism” video has found eleven more things that suck about Cleveland, like “Our enconomy’s based on LeBron James.” He seems to know a lot about Cleveland, but these are too funny not to be extended to other cities:
To be fair to Cleveland, every American city has weird ugly sculptures like that. (Via The Daily What.)

“Our main export is crippling depression.”
Hi-yo!
These are WAY funnier than they have any right to be.
and this can apply to the whole of the Midwest – and I can say that because I’m from – and widely traveled within – the Midwest.
(except Chicago ~ because Chicago’s the best.)
Damn straight! CHI owns the Midwest. Although I’m not sure we want it. Actually, we don’t. We’re like an oasis in a sea of mom jeans and pickup trucks.
To be fair, most of the homes where I live too look like a Scooby Doo ghost town.
Originally being from Ohio, I can attest that Cleveland really isn’t all that bad. But, with that being said, it’s totes possible to by a house for the price of a VCR there.
yea – shit’s extra cheap in the entire state of Ohio for whatever reason. My friends and I got a NICE apartment in Cincinnati a few years ago – 3 bedrooms for $600/month!
in Chicago that same apartment would be like $2000+/month
those guys in OHIO need some stimulus money. yesterday.
But location-wise, Cincinnati v. Chicago is really no competition. You couldn’t charge $2000 for a castle in Cincinnati, mostly because it’s Cincinnati.
I resent the detroit comment and maintain that cleveland is worse. ohio is the worst. in general.
Fourth’d. Detroit owns Cleveland. Ohio is definitely the worst.
Also, I don’t know if you have or haven’t, but please don’t jump on the Detroit-bashing wagon if you haven’t spent time there.
I guess you guys didn’t hear. Chrysler went bankrupt. Detroit is done.
Sorry.
=(
Second that. Detroit has produced some of history’s finest musicians; I can’t think of one from Cleveland (anyone?). Gabe should’ve written this one….
Third’d. But wait! Bone Thugs! Nevermind,
Pere Ubu is from Cleveland. Um…Trent Reznor (ugh) and Scott Weiland (ugh)? Also, I think the Beatles were from Cleveland.
speaking of weird sculptures, i used to live near this guy:

Ohhhh man someone tooootally needs to do one of these about Baltimore.
The Wire? Animal Collective? Freakin’ Ace of Cakes? I think you guys are all set
I’m not really sure any of those qualify as fake tourism videos…
Aw, I always loved inexplicable stamp sculpture. Not because I thought it was art, but because it was a giant stamp and that amused me greatly as a child.
Guys, stop making me want to go to Cleveland!
dear videogum,
this is our tourism video.
love, detroit.

It’s so cold in the D is so OMG. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that you can download that off-key hot mess as a ringtone or that it’s a response to a video called let me smell yo dick. Yes, packing my bags for Detroit.
Everyone welcome in Detroit!! We have $1 houses!!!
