It's like he has never seen one before. |

Versus is doing this review of the tour coming out of each commercial break, including showing the victory salute of each stage winner, with the stage winner's name written out on the bottom the screen.
The highlight? They spelled Joaquim Rodriguez's name wrong. |

So does French TV, they call him Joaquin on every graphic. |

Now we get arguably the best hour of the entire tour, especially for attack junkies like myself. |

Atleast the Radioshack jerseys got good publicity for such a good cause; to raise cancer awareness. |

Never been to Paris, but I've only been to DC, NY, LA, London, and Dublin (I'll be adding Madrid and Barca in a few weeks) in the "Greatest City in the World" competition, so I can't really argue from experience.
I am putting Killarney, County Kerry, forward as best small town in the world though. |

London = No where close 
Dublin is a great city too. Quite quiet for a capital city.
US cities, never been but from what i've seen I wouldn't really like them. European cities have a lot of history attached, US cities are very new. Having said that, i'd love to go to NY.
Possibly the most attractive city i've seen in American is DC, the Capitol is very impressive imo.

Also, the Onion's regular TdF article was a day or two ago. The headline is "Hit-and-Run driver prematurely ends Tour de France"

NY is a good city, I go there normally once or twice a year. I don't love it, but my brother goes to college there and finds it fantastic.
LA I hate, I've only been there once, but its terrible.
And DC is essentially my hometown, and fantastic. I go to school in Northwest, and I absolutely love it. The Mall is idiotic with all the tourists, but all the different neighborhoods along the state avenues, like Van Ness, Tenleytown, Adams Morgan, etc, etc, are great. |

Doddy is overrating Paris.
Berlin, though - that's an awesome city
(Edit: And NY is a close 2nd)

CT, you need to get off the beaten track in Paris. Tourist areas are fine, but go to the side streets, it's a beauiful place.

Exact same for DC, if you come here, tell me, and I'll tell you the best spots to head to. |

I lived in the Moulin Rouge area. I've seen plenty of side streets --- very beautiful girls |

It's the same in any major city. Was in Brussels for the 2nd time ever earlier this year, found a random side street and was simply amazing.
Same with London.

My holiday area is in a town called Maisons Laffite, about 15km from Paris itself. Thats a very nice area, although not technically Paris.
