# Michigan Weather Forecasters Solve Complaints by Adding Every City at Once, Including Sexville

Here’s a masterclass in malicious compliance that deserves a standing ovation in an otherwise empty auditorium. A Michigan storm-chasing outfit got tired of people complaining about which cities they featured on their forecast graphics—so they did what any reasonable person would do when facing an unsolvable problem: they added all of them. The result is a map that looks like someone fed a dictionary into a label maker and let it sneeze.

The genius part isn’t just the nuclear option itself. It’s the tutorial they included. Apparently, the complaints were so relentless that they felt obligated to add a earnest instructional note: here’s how to locate yourself on a map. Here’s how to identify your country. It’s the visual equivalent of a customer service rep slowly explaining what a zip code is while maintaining eye contact. One commenter nailed it: “Apologies to the UP and every non-mitten-shaped state.” The passive-aggressive energy radiates like a weather front.

But the real artifact here—the thing that tells you everything about what happened—is that someone actually found Sexville while scanning this chaos. Not looking for it. Just… there. In the jumble. Which means the map is so comprehensively cluttered that hidden city names now have the texture of an Easter egg hunt. That’s not a forecast graphic anymore; that’s a Where’s Waldo made of spite and municipal records.

The comments section understood the assignment. “Well done to these guys,” one user wrote, the kind of understated praise you give someone who just successfully weaponized bureaucracy. Because that’s what this is: a clean, professional refusal disguised as customer service. They didn’t say no. They said yes, and yes, and yes until the map became unreadable, which—technically—addresses every complaint simultaneously. It’s the speedrun strat of conflict resolution.

This is what happens when you ask a reasonable organization to solve an unreasonable problem. You don’t get compromise. You get art.
