David Duchovny's infamous comments on Vancouver come to mind reading this thread:
Quote:
Back in 1997, Duchovny faced the wrath of Vancouverites after he complained about the city's weather during an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
"Vancouver is a very nice place if you like 400 inches of rainfall a day," Duchovny quipped.
"It is kind of like a tropical rain forest without the tropics."
He also said he wanted the show to be moved to Los Angeles so that he could spend more time with his wife.
At the time, the pushback from Vancouverites was so strong, Tourism Vancouver held a media availability upon his return.
Duchovny was also greeted on set by a man dressed as a "rain forest princess."
Years later, Duchovny returned to Conan O'Brien's show and addressed his earlier comments.
"I'm a little nervous about being here because my last appearance made my life a living hell for about eight months," he joked.
He said his house was egged and he was referred to as the "rain man."
