That app is way too powerful and easy to use. Let's michiganize it.
So what if hundreds of other organizations use this thing straight out of the box with great success? Michigan is special. Michiganize it!
We're not buying this phenomenal thing unless we can michiganize it.

Get the michiganizemug. Known for manufacturing cars, being 100 degrees one day and then a blizzard the very next day, party stores, and of course Eminem.
Michigan is awesome.

Get the Michiganizemug. A Midwestern state with two count em two peninsulas. There are some awesome cities here such as my hometown Ann Arbor. The weather may be incredibly unpredictable, but winters are fun (for the first few weeks before the slush comes in late February) and the 5 great lakes are always fun in the summer. We are all very friendly people. Plus several movies have been shot here because of the low taxes. So like michigan is AWESOME.

Get the Michiganmug. -A magical, mitten-shaped land consisting primarily of trees, whitetail deer, squirrels, beaches, and snow. Inhabited by a race of people which are said to never complain about the cold, have a diet of which is made of 85% venison and beer, and are rumored to be direct descendants of Canadians.
-Consists of the U.P. and the lower peninsula. Don’t ever call it the “L.P.”
-Where whitetail deer come from.
-Where whitetail deer flee from in November.
-Tourists are both hated and loved here. The state needs them for a sustainable economy, yet it doesn't matter where you go; if you are a tourist, no one likes you.
-All five Great Lakes belong to Michigan. Ontario included. Which is why Michigan is also called the “Great Lakes State”. Deal with it.
-An Asian Carp’s dream home.
-Therefore, Asian Carp are a Michigander/Michiganian’s greatest fear (other than running out of beer and deer to hunt).
-There is only one sports rivalry that matters: University of Michigan and Michigan State.
-Nobody in Michigan can drive worth a damn unless there’s snow on the ground. But even if there is snow on the ground, one should drive cautiously; this excludes douche bags with trucks. They quickly end up in the ditches.
-Detroit… just… sucks. Anyone who lives outside Detroit considers it it’s own state. It’s often referred to as “Un-Michigan” or “Red Wings Land”.
-Without Detroit, Michigan would be much further down on the obesity and crime lists.
-See also: Canada.
