DAY EIGHTY SIX

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."
