have you seen this?:

Who the heck thought this up? That sounds like a real winner of an advert campaign.

The Tourism Commission is a state agency (my tax dollars at work). They hired someone from outside to come up with this, according to the article.

This part is especially brilliant:

Another ad, which was popular with focus groups in Minneapolis, Kansas City and Denver, was titled “Festivals for everything from mud to testicles.” The latter refers to a Father’s Day weekend Testicle Festival, at the Round the Bend Steakhouse east of Ashland, that features deep-fried sheep and beef testicles.

State Tourism Director John Ricks said that because Nebraska has consistently ranked as the “least likely state” tourists plan to visit, the marketing campaign needed to be different.
