Cleveland Still Trashing Its Ex: If LeBron James is making mental notes about the people taking shots at him, he should consider adding Mike Polk, a Cleveland comedian known for his viral Hastily Produced Cleveland Tourism Video.

The song was lame and forced, but I loved the tourism video.
With the events of this year, I finally understand why there's a place in Ohio called Chagrin Falls.

Really? I thought that was great. Except the part about his mom. That was a bit of a cheap-shot. Otherwise, I humbly support Mike Polk and his Lebron/bitch platform.

I was unsure of the song until the Jesus crack. That's so wrong it's right.
I don't think there's a city in America that takes being jilted harder than Cleveland. A friend who is a Tribe fan reminded me of how they showered Albert Belle with dollar bills when he returned after signing a deal with the Chicago White Sox.

The Jesus crack is inspired evil.
And I bet Cleveland's Q-rating is tracking up since Lebron has become such a hated dude.
Polk did a Hastily made video for TNT during the NBA playoffs too.

As classless as James decision to do "The Decision", Cleveland is showing they are just as low. I don't feel bad for either side anymore. I felt bad for Cleveland when 'Bron left, but not anymore.

Two parts of the Cleveland self-image difficulty:
1) Cleveland used to be a happening place, with a great deal of aggregate wealth and stellar resources, rivaling or exceeding other American cities in its heyday. That time has long since passed.
2) Cleveland is convinced that it is part of the Eastern US, not the Midwest. Or to look at it from a different perspective, Cleveland longs to be in the East.
When people pile on Cleveland for whatever reason, it makes the issues that already exist there even more painful a burden to bear.

A tiny little balding man with very little talent, sounding bitchier than I've ever heard LeBron. If this is the way Clevelanders act, is it any wonder nobody wants to stay there?

Woah... brutal.
