Suggestions for 10 cities that Sienna Miller would have an easier time insulting in the future.

The recent brouhaha over actress Sienna Miller’s disparaging comments about being trapped in Pittsburgh while she’s being forced to film a movie and have people wait hand and foot upon her every need and whimsy has sent shockwaves throughout the celebrity gossip sites, as well as the local Pittsburgh media. Miller has, of course, apologized for her comments, first through a press release quickly cranked out by the Hollywood Studio Celebrity Idiot Translate-O-Matic, then through bravely exercising the Conciliatory Photo Op With Local Dignitary With Added Forced Smiling and Hugging option. Brilliant!
But still, we feel as though people have missed the real issue here.
What happens the next time Sienna Miller has to be sent to some far-off place to shoot a movie? And what happens when, removed from the trappings of her jet-setting, tabloid fodder lifestyle, she becomes bored and restless again? As always, Burbanked is here to help.
In her comments about Pittsburgh, Sienna Miller referred to her movie’s location as “Shitsburgh”. We understand that conjuring a verbal masterstroke along these lines likely did not come easily to the actress, so we’d like to suggest the following list of cities for Miller to film future movies in, if only that they will provide her with quicker, more direct access to ridicule:
- Colon, Nebraska
- French Lick, Indiana
- Cumming, Georgia
- Glasscock County, Texas
- Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
- Funkstown, Maryland
- Fruitland, Idaho
- Climax Springs, Missouri
- Finger, Tennessee
- Goochland, Virginia
We’d like to hope that lists like this can and will help any other barb-challenged celebrities in the future as well. And to anyone from Pittsburgh still feeling the sting of actress Sienna Miller’s comments, we’d just like to remind you that it could have been worse.

Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun.

I’m from Nebraska and I’ve never been to Colon, Nebraska. It sounds like a good place maybe to Summer.

Wow, Piper! Way to dig into the archives!
Actually, I’ve heard that Colon is the ideal area for blowing off some steam.
Za-zing!
