OK...perhaps I'm losing my mind, or my eyesight, or both, but visit the new Midland Economic Development website, look at the [very] fine print immediately to the right of the "Welcome" banner, and convince me that that print isn't the traditional "lorem ipsum" dummy text we all use when we don't have real content for a layout.

The really fascinating thing (hey, I'm watching a dog show; cut me some slack) is that the second line of this tiny text appears to begin "nitpicking nit," which I believe is a subliminal message directed to the critics of the MDC.

You are partially correct. I captured this text, expanded it to 110%, sharpened it and got my magnifying spectacles.

To the best of my knowledge it sez: "lorem ipsum dolce si I aced corndebar odpeleg wit sed do eluzo!"

I believe it is an abberation of Latin, English, Spanish and Portuguese, meaning "I am sweet Lorem, Yes, I aced this website along with Eluzo!

Actually, I think it is the Latin translation (roughly) of "We have wonderful visions, please bend over."

Or close.
