Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video: 2nd Attempt

https://twitter.com/#!/mikepolkjr

So The Cleveland Board of Tourism was not happy with the first video that I turned in. In fact, they said that upon viewing it, three of the board members moved away.

They insisted that I turn in a proper Cleveland tourism video, otherwise they will pursue litigation.

So I was really planning on buckling down and giving it my all this time, but there was a "Rock of Love" marathon on VH1 last night that I didn't want to miss, so I cranked this video out in even less time than the first one. Roughly 35 minutes total.

Despite this, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, and I think they will be too.

"We're not Detroit" is a fairly good draw.

Lol I don't run with an ipod, and I'm running for their team so it's unlikely that I'll be alone, that's assuming that there is any danger to begin with. Why is everyone hell bent on hating cleveland? This video is a joke, you might remember.

[narutorox85]

I'm not sure why someone would mug a runner who literally only has shoes, shorts, and a shirt on, but thanks for the tip.

Detroit doesn't at all have the greatest sports teams, has a history of being a good city, but that was like, what? 100 years ago? And i don't know where you got culture from, but Detroit certainly doesn't have any. And the only reason New York has a bigger ghetto is because it is a bigger city Bigger city=Bigger neighborhoods. And it's just sad that you have to compare New York and Detroit because no city is better than New York. Detroit is definitely at the bottom of the list for best cities.

Lol it's funny that the guy below is taking this serious. I mean, of course the dude who made it knew, yknow since he lives there n stuff :/

[Arlind86]

The entire city is a ghetto? Really? You must be talking about the east side where the city was burned down in the 60s from riots but you must of not heard of Grosse Pointe. Detroit STILL IS the motor city. A few of manufactures? No its not a few its all North America (as a continent) manufacturers.Bosch, Denso etc Headquarters all in Detroit. Detroit has greatest sport teams, history, culture, art etc.NY has bigger ghettos then Detroit & Cleveland combined. Leave Detroit alone you can't compare

[marklikesturtles]

Was the motor city. And just because there are a few car manufacturers in Detroit, doesn't mean there aren't any in any other city. And it's pretty sad that you have to make Detroit seem better by a car factory. Cleveland is at least trying to clean and fix up all the bad areas. Cleveland has 1 small ghetto while the entire city of Detroit is ghetto so shut up about your precious Detroit and go get a life.
