Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally Heyman has issued a proclamation officially recognizing June 5 as "Michael Bay Day." Yes, Michael Bay the director of Bad Boys, Transformers, and the upcoming Pain and Gain.

Bay's first Hollywood flick, Bad Boys, starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and was set and filmed right here in Miami. A equel, also shot in Miami, followed nine years later, and a third is said to be in the works. Bay is currently filming Pain and Gain, based on a Miami New Times feature story, in the city as well.

"The film and entertainment industry brings millions of dollars into our economy each year, creates thousands of jobs, and supports local businesses. Public recognition is a great way to show our appreciation and support for Michael Bay who has contributed so much to the growth and success of the film industry here in Miami-Dade County," Commissioner Heyman said in a release.

The proclamation will be awarded at 9:30 a.m. at the Stephen P. Clark Government Center.

Personally I think 'Michael Bay Day' should be a worldwide holiday... where everyone gets a day off from work and is allowed to blow shit up! fireworks etc.. should be blown in celebration.. It will be bigger than Christmas! lol

Or you could celebrate the day by watching his movies, do a marathon, if your not into blowing shit up!

From the Miami Dade site...

Nothing surprising. Many people, who claim to know a lot about movies, still think that he directed "Con Air". Not to mention the fact that a lot of (crappy) websites basically present that upcoming "Ninja Turtles" feature as a "Michael Bay film". I guess for them there's no difference between "producer" and "director".

But...that's internet for ya. Lame stuff all over the place.

Well, Happy Michael Bay Day!

Stay safe from the cannibals Mike.
