Some Tourists From The Midwest Are Going To Be Pretty Disappointed
The NYC Tourism Board put together this commercial to lure people to this fine city I call home — where everything is super-clean and the Blacks, Latinos, and Asians all live underground (or are invisible!). What a city.
At least they let Ella sing over the "fairytale" footage. This also explains why I keep tripping over so many of these annoying midwest fuckers everywhere I go in the city.
What's more insulting to me was the lack of traffic during the day at the beginning and the lack of idiotic tourists taking pictures of everything from billboards to every f-ing building they pass. Smack in the middle of the sidewalk. I don't even live in NYC and it pisses me off.
I think the trumpet player was black. Aren't they all?
The only time I love tourists is when they get caught in the cold SF rain b/c they didn't bother to do research on the city they're visiting - instead thinking all of CA has great weather. Only SoCal does. When you drive across the the Golden Gate bridge you see hella people freezing their asses off b/c no one thought to bring a jacket! Or when they get fooled into thinking homeless men are tour guides. Priceless.
bmd: you are so right! i live in the city but work in marin so i drive across the bridge everday day and it's pure comedy to see all of the tourist in their shorts and $20 i heart san francisco fleece jackets because they assume all of ca is warm!!!
Surely not the NY I know.
