will you people get over it?? Seriously - it is ok for other people to say bad things about our city - don't worry about it.
I've been reading simmons for 10 years, laugh at a lot of his stuff and take the boston ra ra stuff for what is worth. Who cares what jokes he makes - he is paid to make jokes about places like buffalo and girls like kirsten dunst. When he's making jokes about New Orleans or Miami we all laugh.
And our list of celebrities from Buffalo is pretty pathetic, but again - who cares.
