10. The Detroit-based domestic auto industry has struggled recently, so politicians and broadcasters love to use the euphemism, 'Detroit,' to talk about the industry. "It just seems like it fits."
9. Detroit city employees reported that on May 1,2009, their payroll checks bounced! (I'm serious)
8. Rapper, Yung Berg was robbed in downtown Detroit for his "Transformer" chain, outside a club. It is reportedly worth "$70,000 and rather heavy." Trick Trick, however, said it was "not that sweet and that it's fake."
7. The Crack Heads! While they have meant nothing short of detriment to Detroit, they're funny, what more can I say?
6. On every commercial street in the city there is at least one of these: Liquor Store, Dollar Store, Beauty Supply or Church! Often times all four are present, as well as a gas station.
5. If there was ever going to be a city that would fight with a visiting professional sports team it would be Detroit, fighting none other than Ron Artest and the Indiana Pacers!
4. The most successful rapper from the city is a weird white guy, from a trailer park. That generates particular interest because Detroit is also one of the "blackest" cities in the U.S. Go figure!
3. Detroit is perennially ranked amongst the most dangerous cities in the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere.
2. Detroit's most recently elected mayor, Kwame 'the hip-hop mayor' Kilpatrick, is a felon; consequently, he is now barred from the BAR.
1. The Detroit Lions. In the 2008-2009 season they became the first NFL team, since the expansion, to LOSE EVERY SINGLE GAME. The team is now featured in The Hall as the only team to go [n/a-16] ever! (or 0-16)
0. There are hundreds of good things about Detroit, but these are just funnier...
