It's just another hand puppet animation example of the flyover country, Ned Beatty Deliverance treatment, that Michigan gets from the media and political elites on both ends of the political spectrum.

A gentleman much wiser than me once posited:

Since the lower pennisula is shaped like a hand, does that mean you are flipping the world's largest middle finger when you drive north across the Mighty Mac?

I hunted around and couldn't find it on youtube. It's a shame other countries can't enjoy The Daily Show.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
