Afghani officials have been struggling with the severe drop in tourism they've experienced with special attention to the number of Americans and Isralis that ceased visiting their barren deserts and crumbled countrysides. Some say it has to do with all the travel restrictions after 911. Others think it may be due the recent outbreaks of chicken pox in the smaller villages.
In Reality, after hiring a top executive marketing firm with the last amount of contra funding recieved from the US, they learned that many of their literature pieces, hand outs, pamphlets and flyers were a bit outdated. "It's too embarressing to see, that many of the people on the front of these flyers are wearing very outdated and unfashionable clothing" Says Sarin Hoseyomama, a representative of their local Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Another man, from the small village of bombherenext, explained his frustration "All I make is sandals, for the Americans they come in and they like it when I make them the sandals, they bring their girlfriends in and they try on the sandals and they get very happy and they pay with American money, Afghani women say Sandals wear out too easy when milking camels and carrying the shit pot to outside of the caves"
Officials and Representatives stand by their work and are dumbfounded as to the reasons why more tourists are not coming to Afghanistan as opposed to a tropical resort such as an island in the keys. "Afhanistan have same things as Bermuda, warm weather, fun in sun, trees.. No wait.. beaches.. well we have sand... water....dammit.." Statement made by Afghani politician as he walked away scratching his head.
One of the literature pieces was secured by a one legged Afghan woman wearing a (hopefully)diffused land mine as a hat, "Here take it, the Americans, they bomb us but they drop toilet paper too, now I can wipe with out profusive bleeding and papercuts on the tips of my anus"
As a FU Exclusive, here is that flyer:
