Apparently the star doesn’t love Detroit enough to do the ad on the cheap. $9 million dollars for what is mostly good camera work.

Who paid for that ad and the ad time, I wonder...

Isn't Chrysler also Government Motors? Didn't we pay for that BS, or maybe I should say big lie? How's Hudson's doing?

And was it just me, or was that ad laden with socialist iconography?

50 years of lib rule...hard to feel sorry for a population that keeps corruptocrats (like Chicago) in power. Don’t portray yourselves as victims of blight, when you have in fact enabled the blight.

I’m listening to Candice Miller R Mich, rave about the ad and M & M. No mention of the government bailout or M & M being a rapper, wife beater, but he’s from Warren, Mi, woohoo.

Watching the media pushing this stupid ad is funny.

Great ad. Was it aired during the Super Bowl?

No Detroit Art, some of which is borderline, i.e. the fist of the Joe Louis.

What I find interesting is not much in terms of auto's are made in Detroit, all in the burbs and downriver and other states.

What is more frightening is the amount of people in America that do not get that and or how vibrant some of the burbs N,S,and West of Detroit are, all the way west to Ann Arbor. When they speak of Detroit they think of it as a Monolith, it is not, just maybe, just maybe in a way the commercial gave some cred to the burbs as well. A lot of inventor types and engineers and patents have come from that region. Many of their parents left Detroit for the burbs after the riot, but that is a topic for another day...

Why couldn’t they just have Bob Seger do “Like a Rock” or get Ted Nugent to represent Detroit, instead of that drug-addicted wife beater?

The following are all replies that Detroit women have written on Child Support Agency Forms in the section for listing ‘Father’s Details,’ or putting it another way . . . Who’s your baby’s Daddy?

1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, Makeeshia was fathered by Maclearndon McKinley I am unsure as to the identity of the father of Marlinda, but I believe that she was conceived on the same night.

2. I am unsure, as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps.

3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 3600 East Grand Boulevard where I had sex with a man I met that night.. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you please send me his phone number? Thanks...

4. I don’t know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he’s had it replaced.

5. I have never had sex with a man. I am still a Virginian. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son’s conception was ejaculate and that he is the Saver risen again.

6. I cannot tell you the name of Alleshia’s dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country.. Please advise.

7. I do not know who the father of my child was as they all look the same to me.

8. Tyrone Hairston is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him, can you axe him what he did with my AC/DC CDs? Child B who was also borned at the same time..... well, I don’t have clue..

9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney World. Maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom .

10.. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in the evening. If I had stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 8956 Miller Ave , mine might have remained unfertilized.

11. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby, after all, like when you eat a can of beans you can’t be sure which one made you fart.

The as is OK. I like the tag line. Kid Rock would have been better.

Detroit is a dried out turd, courtesy of the government, the unions, and universal liberal policies.

This commercial is taxpayer-sponsored propaganda.

That ad got more comments than most of the Super Bowl commercials at the party I attended. All were negative. And we didn't even get to the millions of government (i.e. my taxes) money spent to put it on.

"Imported from Detroit"? Did we finally invade Canada and force them to take it? Or did we sneakily move the border a few miles west without telling anyone?
