So apprently the City of Cleveland got its panties in a wad over the videos that YouTube sensation Mike Polk had been making about the city being a dive. Here is an example of his work along with a new video he made for TNT's Inside the NBA.
So here is their idea to fix it.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Come to Cleveland, where the economy is based on LeBron James, the streets are filled with drifters and broken-down homes can be had for the price of a VCR. A comedian’s sarcastic YouTube music videos trashing Cleveland have so unnerved tourism officials that they asked residents to fire back with videos of their own showing the city is not really the “Mistake on the Lake.” The winner of the contest sponsored by the city’s travel promotion agency, Positively Cleveland, will be announced Thursday. Entries had to cost $2 or less to produce; be 2 minutes long, tops; and highlight favorite spots and the “unexpected side of the area about which tourists may not be aware.” The winner gets a Cleveland travel package, including a stay in a downtown hotel, dinner and passes to attractions…
Well after viewing Mike's videos I would have to say the winning package doesn't seem too enticing. The morons should have offered cash or a five minute starting contest with Lebron. Or a romp in the bed with Brady Quinn (I've heard he goes both ways). Or one free punch to Drew Carey's groin. Something better anyway.
