A new spin for Pure Michigan!
via today’s Michigan in Pictures…
APRIL 1, 2014 – LANSING, MI Governor Rick Snyder traveled to Ishpeming in the Upper Peninsula to announce to a crowd of media, dignitaries and frozen-to-death Michiganders that effective immediately, the “Pure Michigan” tourism campaign will be re-branded as “Pure Snow”.
“Who are we kidding?” Gov. Snyder explained. “Winter 2014 was like something out of the latest Thor movie (which coincidentally cost less to make than this year’s snow plowing bill). Pure Michigan has served the state well for years, but although it looks like we’re in the clear now – in another six months, it’s back to winter again!”
The state’s $8.4 million dollar re-branding effort will seek to market travel by snowmobilers, skiers and “people without a brain in their head.” The State rock will now be “ice”, the State capital will now be Pellston, the “Ice Box of the North”, the State motto will be “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, what the hell are you doing here?” and the State animal will now be “frozen in a snowdrift”.
