What Makes Me Laugh

Just not at the same time. This is what traveling in Montana is like. One night you’re picking up a thin, white terry-cloth towel from a hotel when you notice a warning sign posted in the bathroom that says, “Please do not use the ‘white linens’ for removing makeup or cleaning your shoes.

  I thought that Flight of the Conchords  had the funniest tourism posters, but my own state has outdone the brilliant comedians.  Travel Montana, which is in charge of promoting Montana to tourists, is running a series of magazine advertisements featuring scenic Glacier and Yellowstone National Park photographs and the slogan “Montana: There’s Nothing Here” [...]

Plus, the prime minister of New Zealand makes the trip to New York for a rocking fondue party with [...]

For fans keeping track of the tourism posters on the show I’ve included the last two (episodes 16-17). If you remember ones from [...]
