Legendary POS Ted Nugent: Michigan Tourism ads should show dead animals

[joeybee12]

Ted Nugent's a Michigan native, but he's less than thrilled with the commercials that try to entice tourists to visit his home state.

On the Michigan’s Big Show radio program Thursday morning, the "Cat Scratch Fever" rocker said that the series of tourism commercials known as "Pure Michigan" should show the dead animals and fish that result from hunting and fishing in the Great Lakes State.

“How dare the Pure Michigan campaign not mention (hunting, fishing and trapping) because some hash bash hippie in charge of Michigan’s promotional campaigns is afraid to put a dead salmon or a dead grouse or a dead deer on the tourist brochure, but will put para-gliding and tulip festivals on that brochure when no one is going to come to Michigan to go hang gliding or to go to the tulip festival," Nugent said, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“The Pure Michigan campaign basically is a facade,” Nugent said. He went on to criticize the state's gun laws and said, "the overall direction of Michigan is very sad."

2. Usually promoting hunting and fishing is done with a seperate, more targeted campaign, you idiot.

The official campaign goes on the mainstream print, internet and broadcast media while the hunting/fishing campaign is run during hunting/fishing TV shows or in publications like Outdoor Life, In-Fisherman and Fur Fish and Game.

3. What's this? Facts?

How dare you! We don't need facts when our whacked-out neo-fascist worldview is in question!
