The first Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video didn’t work as planned, so they came up with a second version.
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.
Here’s the original video:

Hilarious. Reminds me of the “This is My Milwaukee” video from a few months ago: http://www.thisismymilwaukee.com/
Yeah, I posted about that one as well: http://laughingsquid.com/this-is-my-milwaukee-come-for-the-weekend-stay-for-life/
Crewel, but funny. And more interesting than the average tourist ad.
Gotta say the Free Stamp is way better than our insipid cupid bow (and the stamp has a good hilarious story behind it). Really, I love Claes Oldenburg but the cupid bow is meh — even with the rumored sarcastic jab that it implies.
Your smug [excrement euphemism] is contemptible. San Francisco has been every bit as rough-and-tumble port town as Cleveland. The videos betray a lack of understanding of this. The river “catching fire” is hackneyed. My seventh grade teacher was one of the kids arrested for “setting fire” to the petroleum slick on the admittedly filthy Cuyahoga in the late 1960s but I’m turning fifty this year. Lake Erie is one of the success stories of the Clean Water Act.
Can we break out some old, bigoted comments about San Francisco now?
It’s just a gag. Obviously a video like this could be made for any city. The river catching on fire is something the whole nation is familar with, like smog in LA. Lake Erie may have had successes for the CWA, but its far from restored or a success story.
