I liked the Smitty family's favorite ad from the superbowl a lot. Any references to my Star Wars childhood are immediately cool.
My favorite was the Chrysler ad featuring Eminem and the Chrysler 200 sedan. This is the ad people are talking about in my office this AM.
The 200? Meh.
A commercial saying cool things and showing the Detroit sites and attractions that no one hears about to a national audience? Completely awesome.
I don't post often, but this just was just hilarious to me so I thought I would throw it out there for consumption.
As you may or may not know, Johnny Damon is the newest Tiger. He signed a huge one-year contract. He previously played for Boston, then the Yankees. Apparently, his wife (who is a debutante of sorts) didn't think Michigan or Detroit were "cosmopolitan" enough and she didn't want him to come here. So the Tigers had to give him more money to placate that problem. So he is here now.
Sean Mann, of Let's Save Michigan, composed an open letter to Johnny Damon's wife. The letter is awesome. But even more awesome are the pictures that Sean created, using several cut-outs of her.
I think this is simply awesome, and wanted to share...

I ran across this article while on a website that features good stuff happening in Metro Detroit. Metromode is an awesome internet magazine that shows all the really cool stuff happening in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs. They are the anti-Detroit News and anti-Detroit Free Press. They don't report on the bad stuff, they report on the good stuff (and yes, there is tons of good stuff!). And they have a distribution list of about 600,000 people.
This week, they did an article on why Michigan is better than other states with beer brewing. This is probably all stuff that Mr. Smitty and many of you already know, but it is cool that the media is picking up on it as something that makes the Detroit area and all of Michigan a better place culturally!

(and, FYI, they do a Lansing version called Lansing Area Capital Gains that is awesome and I recommend all in the Lansing area to read!)
