so, I'm watchin' this silly teevee show

and part of the script goes "she's in one to the 6th largest cities in the world..." and I think ummm, she's in Russia dude, no effin way. So I go to check top ten cities and I end up thinking "wow, top 30 cities, majority in Asia, east and west Asia. Jebus Asia, get a fucking handle on your brood mares why doncha?"

Yeesh, when you spend 10 years reading all kinds of stuff for 5-12 hours a day  instead of working some incredibly repetitive job it's hard to climb back in the shell of ignorance even if you want to shut reality out by watching silly teevee shows.  *sigh*

  1. Mmmm... according to the link you provide, Moscow has 15,000,000 people and is ranked 14th. So, ok, it's not within the first 10 most populated, but ... mmm ... pretty close, right?

    Besides, I don't know how the fuck they calculate the populations because (and this is just an example) they say Paris has nearly 11 million people which is GROSSLY INCORRECT. Paris has a population of around 2.5 to 2.7 million people. Which will NEVER expand because:

    1) the city limits of Paris are very well defined: it is the freeway called "The Périphérique" which encircles it completely. Anything inside is Paris, anything outside is NOT.

    2) Paris has incredibly strict building regulations: NO building can be more than 5 storeys high. Only one escaped that regulation (because of unbelievable corruption and bribery), the "Tour MontParnasse".

    So, clearly, if Paris cannot expand in surface area, nor in height, then its population will NEVER increase from its present 2.5 million. Again, how the fuck did that WorldAtlas calculate its population? Ignorant dumbfucks.

    Even if they include what is NOT Paris but the gigantic metropolis surrounding it, they still got it wrong: what is referred to as "The Greater Paris" is nearly half the population of France, i.e nearly 30 million people - i.e. 3 times what they say Paris is. They really don't know what the fuck they're talking about..

    As I said earlier, Paris is just an example, one I happen to know about. I wonder how many other GROSS blunders they have in the stats they provide.

    But hey, this is too good, I think I'll mention these stats on PP, I'm sure Valérie will get a chuckle, lol.

  2. 6th largest city in the world is what the show said.

  3. Well, I haven't seen the show, obviously, so I can't comment on it. But I read the "top ten cities" link. And I can guarrantee you they are WRONG about Paris. And I don't mean wrong by 10 or even 50 %, but by a gigantic margin - like 500 % or something. It's not a matter of interpretation on statistics, IT IS A FACT.

    Now, Paris may not be the most famous city in the world, but surely it is pretty well known. If one writes a semi offical site about populations of capital cities in the world, one should at least get their fucking facts half straight. Or even one tenth straight, lol.

    Maybe that site gets its statistics from Jeanette's bible, lol?

    Speaking of whom, she is becoming more and more pathetic. It's actually becoming entertaining, no kidding. She is literally foaming at the mouth, lol.
