State Recalls Tourist Brochures.

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma tourism officials have recalled about 200,000 brochures with images of activities that may have seemed uninviting to some travelers, such as cow manure tossing and re-enacting Confederate battles, officials said on Wednesday.
The pamphlet, called 2005 Annual Events Guide, featured events and activities throughout Oklahoma. It was also riddled with spelling, grammatical and factual mistakes.

"We discovered the material in the event guide was culturally insensitive and contained errors," said state tourism director Rob Gray.

What? Who doesn't like a good old fashion cow manure tossing contest once and awhile?

Yeah, the local story was even better.

Cost of the destroyed media....$46,000

Cost to replace it...$30,000

It was considered bad (in part) since it had a picture of a confederate flag, and pictures of the freekin' cow chip tossing contest.

God I hate this state. Calgon take me away.

boss: "I know this might be asking too much, and sorry about firing your ass because we have no money to keep you around here. But please finish the brochures before your last day here."
brochure design guy: "sure, with pleasure!"
