I liked the person who said, "Please tell me my tax dollars didn't pay for this crap."

I also hope the people planning this read the reviews. Even great Hollywood directors need to have screenings to see audience reactions. This would be a screening of a big budget picture where everyone got up and walked out.

The good news is that if anyone overseas is dumb enough to visit based on this crap, we should have no problem taking them for everything they own in a crooked craps game or in some back alley.

My God, $200 million....

This is true. California has a cute little commercial with Betty White in it.

other countries market themselves, it's not that bananas.

does anyone else remember the great pro-Kazakhstan commercials that came out during the Borat epidemic? =p
they showed the Kazakh people doing positive things like using cell phones, women involved in daily life, etc. -- basically anything to counteract the impression people were getting from Borat.

our economy is in a tailspin and global opinion of us isn't so great; we need to boost both of those things, and tourism dollars can be biiiig business.
