What moron came up with that ad campaign showed during the NFL Network’s presentation of the Senior Bowl? Isn’t that just admitting your town was a joke? Isn’t that admitting the stereotype of Alabama was correct—that stereotype where the state and its people are backwards, and have just now entered the 20th Century, instead of the 21st Century?
Shouldn’t any ad campaign speak to the positives of your town? Shouldn’t it show the town’s slick modern accomplishments?
The big projects headed to Mobile like ThyssenKrupp were only mentioned in passing. Unfortunately, the lasting images were the borderline hick local officials pleading with bright young people, “To come come back home because we dun got gud jobs!â€
Mobile has much more to offer than this pitiful ad campaign showed.

Wow. Just wow. I didn’t even think of checking out the website for that idiotic commercial series.
One more black mark for the ad campaign. The website should work if you promote it on television.
The ad did get my attention, enough to check out the website. Yes, the website is broken. I do think it was a good idea to attract former residents of Mobile to move back.

I agree the ad could be better then the final product turned out to be but I think it is a good idea.
