John McClane Comes to W.Va....Sort of

West Virginia plays a bit part in the plot of Live Free or Die Hard, the latest installment of the Bruce Willis action franchise.

The Charleston Daily Mail reports that that Willis' cap-busting cop drives into the Mountain State at one point, to investigate an East Coast power outage that's traced to a fictional W.Va. town.

Though actually filmed in California, the scene shows Willis driving past a "West Virginia Open for Business" sign. No word yet on whether this revives or influences the debate over the slogan. As best I can tell, Willis does not shoot or blow up the sign, so I guess that's good for Gov. Joe Manchin.
