Dr Karanka It happens a lot in the US too, but it's usually security guards preventing people taking photos of hotels and shopping malls, as opposed to people on the street.

@kramer - yeah.. the adcopy is bad. They have other version is you click on the pic that are better and actually funny. But the one above takes the cake for shit advertising. Trankslink commented in that thread (with the pic) but I don't think they said anything too enlightening or apologetic. @findingtheview - I get that all the time...

No picture in the pool is untouchable, but neither are they subject to your assessment. That is, my assessment is not subject to your assessment. You can think this image is crap, think the whole pool is crap, think whatever you like. But your opinion, your assessment of the image is not something you can foist off on everybody else as divine revelation. It's how you see it, it's not how I see it. I like this image. I'm not...

I'm from Ann Arbor, and wouldn't be surprised if Ann Arbor has more Starbucks than Detroit. Sorry for the tangent, but I'm frankly really sick of the "Detroit doesn't have grocery stores" gag. There may be a lack of big, national chains in Detroit. There isn't a lack of cheap, quality produce, fresh meat, good coffee, and excellent restaurants. Most of them are even right along bus routes.
