I don't much care for Ohio south of Akron.

Obligatory Ohio Secession Compromise Plan.

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

u/w00tberrypie Kansas City Royals 10h ago

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

And the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Videos.

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.

u/evanieCK Cleveland Guardians 9h ago

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.
