Don’t go anywhere nasty

Today our intrepid Guardian reporters look down into the sordid world of saying nice things about places they don’t like.

It seems some people have been promoting Pakistan as a tourist destination despite the facts that the government and military suck and there’s loads of social problems. After all, who could possibly want to know the land and people if there’s terrorists and poverty and oppression by those in power?

A complete scandal, worthy of all the Guardian’s investigative talents and prurient, pro-imperialist posturing.

I look forward to the next exclusive, exposing the useful idiots and corrupt stooges who continue to promote the US as a tourist destination despite its murderous racism, militia violence, poor public health, massive rate of imprisonment, despotic plutocracy and status as the world’s foremost promoter of terrorism and war.

Or should I soon expect to see the US fomenting a coup in Pakistan by a group trying to sabotage the Pakistan tourist industry who have been put in touch with helpful Guardian journalists?

At least Australian tourism promoters adhere to strict truth in advertising guidelines.
