Miami Beach has made it official - they are breaking up with Florida Man, and they want the whole world to know it.
Remember those glorious college days and a week-long spring break in Florida? Well, it seems that the city of Miami Beach remembers all too well.
They've had enough.
They're done with us doing our best Florida Man impression while we're down there.
And they are going to great lengths to see that Spring Break 2024 isn't the usual drunken embarrassment that has become the norm through the years.
Curfews. Exorbitant parking fees. DUI checkpoints.
FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE - Miami Beach, where it's official - Miami Beach is announced that they are breaking up with Florida Man.
Actually to be a little bit more specific, they're breaking up with those of us who head down to Miami Beach for maybe spring break or whatever and decide to do our best Florida Man impression.
They have officially had it.
They're done with it.
They've even taken out an ad campaign designed to send the message - if you're planning to do something stupid in Miami Beach, don't even bother coming down here.
Because they don't want you.
Come back to Miami Beach when you grow up
I love that - "Maybe we can talk when you're done with your spring break phase."
This is a continuing issue, by the way, not just in Miami Beach, but a lot of destinations
where cities are looking for people with money, people who are quiet and they're not looking
for the younger party happy types.
And in fact, some destinations such as Miami Beach with that ad there have been very vocal
about it.
Basically what Miami Beach is telling you is "Stay home now; come back when you're old and rich and we can benefit from your money without having to deal with any of your hassles."

11 Great ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ Quotes That Aren’t “These go to 11!”
The iconic cult classic This is Spinal Tap was released in theaters 35 years ago today (March 2.) It is easily one of the most quotable, funniest films of all time to the point where even the biggest rock stars can own up to its painfully true moments.
Obviously, the most popular line from the film is, "These go to 11," but there are so many other golden nuggets in this brilliant mockumentary. In honor of the anniversary of the film’s theatrical release, here are 11 other quotes from This is Spinal Tap that aren't "These go to 11!"
(Note: This list is numbered, not ranked. Ranking each line would be like asking us which Spinal Tap drummer was our favorite. It’s simply too hard of a question to answer.)
1. “Here lies David St. Hubbins…and why not”
2. “You don’t do heavy metal in Dubly, you know.”
3. “I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.”
4. “Well, this piece is called ‘Lick My Love Pump.’”
5. “It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever”
6. “This miniature bread…”
7. “The review you had on ‘Shark Sandwich,’ which was merely a two-word review, just said ‘Sh-t sandwich.’”
8. “He was the patron saint of quality footwear.” – David St. Hubbins on the origin of his last name.
9. “We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.”
10. “None more black”
11. “Well, so what? What's wrong with bein' sexy?” “Sex-IST!”
