    If I have one more darn ad about "Pure Michigan" I am going to vomit. If your Fing state was so wondrous and had so much more to offer, we would have figured it out long ago. We don't need your stupid ads telling us why we should come over and "re-discover" ourselves.

    It's the same as a sucky movie having to run a crap load of ads just so someone will go watch the darn thing.


    Rant over. Good day.

    Word! We feel the same way in the OH.... except for the handful of suckers whom enjoy losing football games, while simultaneously reinforcing their "rebel" status ;)

    I thinks its great that MI is doing whatever it can to actually get people to go there. I’ve been there. Its OK, its not WI or any of the nicer states but it was tolerable so I don’t fault them for using ads to try and prop it up and make it sound good. Frankly I find the ads enjoyable. Sure they paint an unrealistic picture of MI but that’s what advertising does. I did get a chuckle out of two ads running back to back on the radio. The first was one of the “Pure Michigan” con jobs and the other was a Chrysler ad that claimed their car was “imported from Detroit”. Does a US resident need a passport to get into MI???? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    You know we buy advertisement on your local tv stations, help your local economy and you're still not happy.

    I don’t know if this is true of not but I recall hearing that back when OJ Simpson was being sought in that famous murder case that he was actually hiding out in Michigan because that's the last place you would find a football player.

    I do recall watching a documentary about Michigan that I thought was entertaining. As I recall. It was called Escanaba in da moonlight.

    I shouldn’t goof on Michigan. Having MI and IL and Canada right next door certainly makes WI look great so I guess germ is right, we ought to say Thank you. After all, MI gave the world
