How random! Modern Humorist is a fairly funny site which I have only just discovered. Just like The Onion did awhile back, they have mentioned my hometown of Livonia, Michigan. It's buried near the bottom, so keep reading. That place is a strip mall of 100,000 people, 98% of which are white. The city is not worthy of mention.
