Just as a bit of uplift for poor Detroit, this brilliant Chrysler commercial made for the 2011 Super Bowl, featuring Eminem:

The bankruptcy is payment for the sins of the past - but this purgatory should lead Detroit on a path to success. There's no reason that Detroit can't mirror what North Carolina's Research Triangle did in the '90s and '00s. And considering how much Detroit has made America look at herself over its history - I think we should all be rooting for the Motor City to rocket forward from here." Amen.
