"The idea is to create a nationally coordinated brand for the country." Damn that is funny. You just can't make stuff up that good. They already have a brand image and it took "hard work" to develop it. So now they want to charge "visitors" ten bucks to market the goldfish bowl to their fellow countrymen back home while lining them up for fingerprinting, shoe inspections and interrogations before letting them into the US for what? A nice eco tour of the Katrina ravaged areas, perhaps an exhilarating ghetto tour in a bullet proof bus, a colorful graffiti tour of an inner city, or maybe an inside look at one of the upscale gated communities where the rich white guys pretend that the world is perfect. Sorry for the sarcasm, but it is all quite ridiculous to me. I suppose it would work if the rest of the world was as gullible as the red state hordes, BUT it isn't.
