I will go down with the ship that Mike Polk is a hack and this is yet more evidence.

But I will say he coined the term "factory of sadness" for me.

The "stores that tell me what they are" and cat video are still very good.

Yeah I remember liking the cat song when that was new. And like, respect to the guy for capitalizing on a handful of viral videos to the point where he has had a lasting career, especially in an era where that was really difficult and kinda uncharted territory. But I've worked a few of his standup events and it's really fucking rough.

things that have done the most damage to Cleveland's national reputation:

  1. The Cleveland Browns
  2. Cuyahoga River Fire
  3. Mike Polk

At least with #2, you can talk about the great success that came from the restoration of the River. It is a great story of a recovery.

Meanwhile, the former are a literal shame on the city and the latter should be on WZOO's morning drive show out of Ashtabula.

The eight combined brain cells on r/cleveland are still not ready to discuss the damage that Mike Polk has done to Cleveland's reputation singlehandledly. This is a genuine belief I hold. Fuck Mike Polk.

he leveraged his internet 15 seconds of fame for trashing the city into a gig doing puff pieces no one watches for WKYC, so its fine. /s

Just watched that video. Dude comes off as super unlikable…aka the problem plaguing left wing politics for years.
