The 5th Worst Place on Earth... Wolves.


You may have read this story as it was published quite recently and got a lot of attention. LonelyPlanet claimed that Wolves was the 5ht worst place on earth... 'just' behind Compton (in the U.S.).

Personally I find this quite amazing to read, we all know Wolves isnt the greatest place on earth but its just like any other industrial city if you ask me.

While the story is interesting, what concerns me is why they would do such a thing. What study did they make? What information are they using? Maybe LonelyPlanet did this on purpost because as they say bad publicity is good publicity. But what makes a place bad? because everywhere has a nicer area and in general we all live at home in relatively safe conditions, so how can this be considered 'bad'. When you look at places like Darfur in Sudan or Zimbabwe which are suffering massively with starvation, disease and murder.
