Detroit makes itself the butt of the jokes with their silliness! I remember this being a new tide for the city, but alas, very little changes for Detroit! Exposure is everything! LMAO!!!! Priceless, indeed! sam

Re: tasteless advertising.....and I presume they have removed it now in the

Kabu,

I presume that the billboard was a very short-term rental. Have you ever priced one of those billboards?!! The monthly rental on a US Highway billboard, would house & maybe FEED a whole family! State Highways, being less traveled, cost a bit less, but state billboard laws are usually far more lax, too.

I have no idea who paid for the billboard display, but it's a good bet, that it was the political party whose name begins with the letter "R." I don't put any credence in anything said by a politician, of ANY party.

I don't want to offend anybody, but in my opinion, if a politician, evangelist, car salesman, telemarketer, desperate rental applicant, military recruiter, Snake Oil salesman, Rain-maker, or a slimey TV huckster, told me that it is raining, I'd have to look to see if they were pissing on my shoes!

If you haven't been through Detroit in the last couple of years, the only way you could picture it, is to imagine a cross between the Mel Gibson, "Road-Warrior & Thunderdome" movies, and Kirk Russell's "Escape from New York," without the desert sand, haute couture, and most of the good guys. It looks like Beirut, Baghdad, Kandahar, !970's Hanoi, and before long, it may resemble 1940s Hiroshima.

Michigan's unemployment figure sits at 15.2 %, the last I heard!!!!! Most of the rest of the country is petrified, that this figure will hit 10%, for their state.
