    Funny as the years progress and Portlandia keeps going, it turns more and more into just a documentation. Rough part of satire is it's only satirical when you can still recognize its being done, otherwise it just seems like a documentary as this behavior is too close to reality now. Like "is this a joke, or is this real, I can't tell anymore."

I simply used to take my kids there (up from Medford) to see the OMSI, go on the sky ride and visit the outlets on the way. Ironically, you have done nothing but reinforce a stereotype that has been pulling money out of Portland for decades. A stereotype that Portland *thinks* it is more than the OMSI, blood sucking lawyers, and politicians that have been strangling the Oregon economy with red tape and bums who don't want to work. Also, your weather sucks.

    i saw this, and said..."oh, i've seen that already", and scrolled on past it. then i stopped and thought..."what if this is exactly what i needed to see today?" 🤔 and i scrolled back up and watched it.....again. this is a true story, and not a paid endorsement for Portlandia or gentle music competitions in any way.

      Have you tried watching it muted and facing away from the screen? My pop-pop watches Watchmojo videos that way, it keeps him centered.
