It wasn't the default destination comment that was offensive. I heard the rant, and can see where it could be confusing if you didn't actually hear it. He basically said the crime is horrible, nowhere besides here and detroit will the locals tell you not to go down a particular street (which is true if you ask me). He did bash the airport, said the weather wasn't so good, and there weren't all that many good hotels, which is nuts.

Bash me for saying this, but it didn't really bother me THAT much. Accept him for who he is...a shock jock. Like someone else here mentioned, he likes to stir things up. I'm a local new orleanian, and I think the locals here are sometimes too sensitive. It was just Colin being a Colon. Big whoop.

... it's one of those things like, 'I can call my sister ugly but you shouldn't really call my sister ugly unless you live here or are at least dating her', kinda' things ... .
