Government: Milwaukee Sucks—Go There

So the government says people should take their conventions to Milwaukee so the workers won’t be distracted by fun stuff to do.

Oooo, this SCREAMS for a Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce ad contest.

I have the winning entry, I just don’t have the paraphernalia to execute it.  If anyone wants it, I’ll send it to you.

Culture + Economy

1. So lets see… The ONLY reason people go to conventions ANYWAY is because they get to go to a cool place on expense account.  Send em to a boring city and they either a-won’t go, or b-won’t spend any money while they are there.  GREAT way to stimulate the economy dumb-asses.

   Who’s going to fly the wife out to meet you in “milwaukee”  woo hoo.  (now don’t get me wrong, I love Milwaukee) I love Detroit too.  But I’m going to neither place on vacation.

   Is Baracks administration really this stupid to not realize the law of unintended consequences of their policies?

2. Come to Milwaukee: we make sure you are asleep by 10pm and ready for that company meeting in the morning.

3. Here is a site to create the demotivator posters:

4. I think you misread the article (probably on purpose, since you’re one of those people…).  It doesn’t say Milwaukee sucks, it says it’s not a vacation destination like Orlando or Las Vegas.  It isn’t.  Nobody thinks it is.  That doesn’t mean it sucks.

5. What do you mean by “paraphernalia to execute it”?

6. JIJAWM, you’re right.  It isn’t saying Milwaukee sucks.  But it is sort of like telling someone they should marry a woman because he’ll never have to worry about anyone else hitting on her.

7. JIJAWM, why do you have to be such an asshole? STFU.

8. I guess it’s a matter of perspective. I thought I was responding to an asshole.  Everything you say is negative.  You’re always trying to cut something or someone down.  I’m just sticking up for Milwaukee, a great city that definately does not suck.

9. I take umbrage with you calling my wife an asshole.  As far as this:

   “Everything you say is negative.”

   That’s just BS.  What, are you new here?  Haven’t seen the videos?  Geography quizzes?  Praise of Governor Doyle?  Jokes?  “Everything” is negative?  Whatever.

10. Owen- I think JIJAWM is referring to the fact that just over the past several days, and it is certainly a trend over the last six months, there have been several articles that you or someone else who posted has misread.  It could be seen that with the amount of times it has happened it could be interpreted as intentional.  We think you are better than that.

11. This is a recession - there really isn’t a ton of great news. Don’t blame the messenger.

    JIJAWM - it’s fine to disagree with someone - but for someone who professes to like Jesus - I don’t think he would be very happy with your comment.

12. We need to build a big, new amusement park - DoyleLand. It would consist of a series of gates and obstacles one must negotiate to get through to reach the end of the park. Each gate requires a tax (excuse me, a “fee”). After you negotiate the final gate, a giant Doyle replica (constructed of Cubic Zirconias) then pees on you and requires one last fee to stop the flow.

    Look out, Orlando!

    Where is the choo choo?  DoyleLand MUST have a choo choo!  The choo choo can go around in endless circles.
