Tell us how you really feel, Councilman.

Snellville was recently named one of the "10 most boring cities in Georgia" by a website called RoadSnacks.net, which was quick to issue a disclaimer calling its study "an opinion based on facts" (whatever that means) and urge readers not to "freak out."

Snellville City Councilman Roger Marmol didn't get the memo. He took to Facebook late last week to decry the site's "wack algorithm" and his city's No. 6 ranking: "#hatersgonnahate," he wrote.

As Marmol pointed out, RoadSnacks used criteria like average age and population density to determine boringness. It excluded cities with populations of less than 5,000 residents, maintaining the sanctity of its rankings by not including "very small pockets of retired people."

For what it's worth, one other Gwinnett city (Braselton, which is also partly in Hall, Jackson and Barrow counties) made the list, too. It came in at No. 5.
