The ad campaign seems oblivious to the fact that the millions, if not billions of people who’ve already had the pleasureable experience described/portrayed might-would come back again without having to be wooed by state-sponsored commercial ‘invitations’. Word of mouth stories, vacation pictures, travel journals...hundreds of years worth of art, written-word history, photography and films...What the hell? Who doesn’t already know what Michigan has to offer as a travel and leisure destination? People may even begin to wonder...”What’s wrong with Michigan? Why the overtures all the sudden? What’s the problem over there and why do they seem so desperate for our money?”. I think it will turn more people off to coming to Michigan. Like a clingy old girlfriend who pandering to some guy and his family who really wish they’d never met her. What a waste. I predict, within a year, that she will be taking credit for any jump in tourism. She’ll call it money well-spent and “See, I told you so...”, etc. Note to Governor Granholm (D): Stop sucking up!
