Furthermore, the deformities are probably ALSO attributed to the following factoid:
The Most Polluted Cities in the United States
The City of Angels no longer holds the dubious title of the Sootiest City in the United States. That honor is now held by Pittsburgh (though LA is still the most polluted other measures).

The most polluted cities, according to the short-term particle pollution measure are: 1. Pittsburgh - New Castle, PA 2. Los Angeles - Long Beach - Riverside, CA 3. Fresno - Madera, CA 4.

LOL New Castle isn't even in Allegheny County. It's so far away from Pittsburgh I've never even been there. Good work though.
How Philadelphians can possibly mock another city for being redneck is beyond me. Have a look around this town. A small minority of it is white collar Center City types, just like Pittsburgh. And despite your smuggness, Philly's national reputation is obese, bitter cheesesteak eaters and psychotic black people w/ guns. That's how we're known.
I've never been one to mock blue collar people, whether they be from Pittsburgh, Philly, Jersey, etc. I'm funny like that.
But in case you want to keep generalizing, sports fans and media across the country consider Phillly fans to be the worst, and media outlets have recently labled our city not only the ugliest in the USA, but also the fattest. Pittsburgh was just named the Most Livable City in the USA. None of these lists mean anything to me, but you seem to take a lot of stock into them, so I'm just throwing that out there.
