If you’re not familiar, Foursquare is a location-based social networking application for mobile devices. It enables users to “check in” at any location, and they get points, badges, and (if lucky) the title of mayor for doing so. All of this activity is broadcast via the user’s Twitter feed, so the world always knows where they are. In other words, it’s a douchey, narcissistic tool for projecting your coolness and details nobody cares about. Seriously, nobody.
Since we’re tired of repeated 4sq updates from people at Starbucks, the mall, eating sushi, that indie record store, or the soup kitchen, we thought we’d look into the places that don’t seem to make the 4sq cut:
Planned Parenthood
Sex Shop or Strip Club
Rehab
Plastic Surgeon
Weight Watchers
Nail Spa (for guys)
What are some others?

How about the mayor of Prison, assuming you’re not working there.

nothing wrong with being the mayor of a strip club. That is my goal in life.
