They're joining California as the "worst state ever"

When have you ever seen a state put out commercials saying "please, come here!"

Congrats for buying japenese - you are killing the country.:thumbsdown:

Nod, any state with commercials is a state not worth living in. Examples: Every state except Texas, California, New York, and, oddly enough, Montana.

Maybe not. These are basically begging. "please come here". Pretty please?

While marketing your state is a good thing, these commercials were straight up begging.

well, I've seen Nevada and Penn have commericals for asking people to come invest in their state. I don't see that as signs of weakness.

unless the message in the Michigan's commerical is reallly pathetic.

Travel & tourism boards of each province & state do these commercials on a regular basis.

Good point. This was shown on the golf channel.

It wasn't aimed at tourism. It was a Begging for business commercial.

Doesn't matter. Tons of HS grads in the US and college graduates all over the world flock to Michigan ever year anyhow.
Thats all the immigrants you need.

Hey, it could be worse. They could be like New Mexico, which advertises "The Thing" (an Arizonan gas station attraction) on the Texas side of the state.

But yeah, Michigan is a crappy state. You just have to look at the crime rates to determine that.

Out of curiosity, what do the California commercials say? I live in CA, so I don't see them.
