As if claiming the #1(+19) spot in a rundown of the brainiest American cities weren't enough to assert New York's overpricedwhelming dominance as the best fucking city ever, our well-traveled brother Gridskipper has just closed the polls on their World's Sexiest City contest. New York comes in first with 44.2% of the vote, knocking reigning champ Rio de Janeiro back from whence it came. For the record, we're confident in the accuracy of these results and believe that New York truly is more sexy than a hedonistic city where assfucking is de rigeur. Gridskipper's well-balanced voters are educated, unbiased and worldly individuals — and not, say, a bunch of New Yorkers trying to convince themselves that living here is worth the bullshit.

After the jump, an extremely NSFW and somewhat gross visual breakdown of the results.
