MYFOXNY.COM - Our "friends" to the south decided to ask people to vote for the
biggest New York City Jerk. We decided to return the favor.
Philly is just a small town next to New York but it does have
its share of "jerks."
MyFoxNY.com wants your opinion about who is the biggest jerk of
them all in Philadelphia.
Here's a rundown on some of the choices to refresh your
memory.
Jon Gosselin: If you've been living under a rock for the past
year you are unaware of drain on popular culture this hair plug
wearing, wife-leaving, whining excuse for a real man that Philly
unleashed on the world.
Kate Gosselin: You might say that her incessant complaining
drove Jon Gosselin to do what he did. Bonus negative points for the
haircut.
Philly Phanatic: Part obesity-PSA, part 700 level lout from the
old Vet stadium. If you can't beat your opponent with pure talent,
why not try and have an unexplainable buffoon try and distract a
professional at work.
Larry Mendte: The Philadelphia TV anchor pleaded guilty to
federal charges for breaking into his co-anchor's e-mail account
and leaking information to the media.
Michael Vick: Back-up quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Vick was signed by the Eagles after serving a federal sentence for
a "cruel and reprehensible" dog fighting ring. He is being paid
more than a million dollars to sit on the bench.
Bernard Hopkins: The professional boxer decided to issue a press
release to announce that he is supporting the Phillies in the World
Series and used the release to promote his own boxing match.
Bill Cosby: After years of being TV's most beloved dad Cosby has
turned into an old curmudgeon with social views that have alienated
him from many in the African-American community.
Brian Roberts: He owns a cable company (Comcast). Need we say
more?
Pedro Martinez: The Phillies pitcher and cockfighting fan once
was quoted as saying someone should wake up Babe Ruth so he could
hit him with a pitch. No one disrespects the Bambino.
Stephen Starr: The restaurant owner has made millions off by
selling "hip" drinks and under-sized portions to suckers in a
series of Philadelphia hot-spots.
