Whether it’s nuclear war brinksmanship, Sophie the robot telling the world she wants to “destroy humans” or Barbara Streisand (dog-cloning will go sideways at some point), one thing is certain: the end, though it may not be nigh, it’s worth considering, and definitely is possible.

With New York City and Los Angeles being the most densely populated metropolitan areas, the battle for survival will be fierce, so we asked celebrities, who often have lived or worked in both areas, to make the final call on who has the hardiness to survive: New Yorkers or Angelenos.

Their responses were contentious, but, thankfully, we finally have an answer — and it is the right one. Do not @ us.
