Controversy surrounding Chrysler's new commercial, "It's Halftime, America." Myself, I like last year's imported from Detroit more (some of the same images are featured in both). Watching videos about detroit is more fun! Like this one, a gospel rendition of Eminem's One Shot. And, for my favorite street in the world, ever, see this video and read this and this discussing a bit of the history of the Heidelberg project (and watch this video). The last one's particularly good at showing Detroit through the last 50 or so years, a woman who really likes to say 'literally', some cool poi, and a man who thinks Greenwich is 'literally' pronounced "green-wich". Encouraged viewing for all, and i'm sad i haven't seen it in at least four years.
And, for a much more depressing view, watch this one about dismantling Detroit. "Why's it going to China? So they can make shit, send it back here and sell it for more."
My friend made fun of that Chevy commercial by saying: it's overtime America, and America is loosing.
