Dirty North
The October issue of Mens Health lists the cities it thinks are the worst for STD's, based on 2002 census data for gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. Detroit falls at the bottom, as the nastiest place to screw. Sorry Bal'mer, you've apparently lost that title.

Also, the DPH contradicts itself at the end of the article when another official says it's a good thing for people to be talking about it.
