Quote :
"Lust: Residents of these metros enjoy vigorous sex lives--at least their condom and contraceptive purchases at grocery and drug stores indicate as much."


Quote :
"Avarice: The 10 U.S. cities that have the most individual fortunes per capita."


Quote :
"Envy: Better watch your belongings if you live in one of these 10 cities, where property crime rates are among the nation's highest."


Quote :
"Wrath: Watch your back when in these metros, the 10 with the country's highest murder rates."


Quote :
"Gluttony: Once considered an affliction of the lazy and indulgent, obesity now affects about one-third of Americans, most of them in these cities."


Quote :
"Sloth: Too much TV, fatty food and little time spent exercising landed the residents of these places on our list of laziest."


Quote :
"Vanity: In these 10 spots, more Americans go to extreme measures to keep up their looks."

#3 on sloth. Not on any of the other top 10 lists

"Myrtle Beach isn't on the list?"
Aside from being a lame attempt at sinfulness in general, it misses the mark. Although, Va Beach is #8 in pride.

FLAW: They look at the habits of the residents... not the people who go there for the sin.

^^ it was an admittedly flawed study. But why not measure the habits of residents instead of visitors?


Either way, Lust was measured by contraceptive sales. This wouldn't be effected by whether or not a resident or a visitor bought them.
