Vice Magazine investigates the current wave of ‘Look at Detroit’ media coverage, and the accompanying photography that often has nothing to do with the content.

Weirdly off-topic TechCrunch post highlighting Ann Arbor.

It's interesting that this happened at all, but boy do the nerds in the comments hate Michigan (the state, not the school). Sad times.
