Seattle is 3rd Coolest U.S. City, Says Forbes

I have a bone to pick with Forbes about their "Top 10 Coolest Cities" list. (I also have a bone to pick with the 2,000 Americans polled who thought Las Vegas was cooler than San Francisco.) There's not much to the poll--people were literally just ask to rank cities by how cool they were--so Forbes decided to crank up the page view count by making it a "slideshow"--that you have to refresh the page to advance.

New York's photo is an interracial couple in a park. Las Vegas has an Elvis in front of a Las Vegas sign. San Francisco has the Golden Gate. San Diego, a beach. Seattle gets...shopping bags. How cool is that?

I also have a beef with Forbes' geography
Seriously. Why are we Seattle, WA, CA? What the hell do we have to do with California?

Fully trust
If there's any organization that's qualified to pick coolest city, it's got to be Forbes, no? Am I missing something?

RE: Fully trust
Guess you didn't see that rad gif of Steve Forbes with the pixel-ated cartoon sunglasses slowly lowering in to the frame and over his eyes with the words "Deal With It" flashing at the bottom of said gif
