At the Mackinac conference after Memorial Day this year, the state announced their new PR campaign for 2006 called ... "Pure Michigan." (radio and print spots at link: http://www.travelmichigannews. org/ads.htm)

I thought about it at the time, and then again the other day when I saw it while downloading @!&%$# business tax forms on the michigan.gov website ... wouldn't you be annoyed if you were the owners of Pure Detroit? Are they getting royalties or something for this obvious ripoff?

I'd be furious, personally.

It'd be one thing if they started making hipster Ts with PM graphics, but this is an AD CAMPAIGN. About the state's freshwater attributes. To lure more tourists. Who will spend more money here. Buying Pure Detroit Ts.
