Now it's even wierder. You don't think someone used the SonoraTurismo name to put this up in retaliation for SB1070? That would cost someone a lot of money.....and not make sense because we, the people, didn't vote for it.....I hope the info becomes public. I'm curious now.....

That ad will only hurt tourism in Mexico/Rocky Point....so that would be crazy.....

Wonder if someone claiming to be Sonora Tourism placed the ad in retaliation for Calderon's comments this week????and AZ Republic didn't bother to check who it was? ....A little conspiracy theory...

Lovin it in RP!
The ad was conceived and paid for by Sonora Turismo. It imho was not properly vetted in view of the stuff going on and the tender relations between Mex and AZ but it is what it is. It is totally innocent in its meaning but perception is reality, I fight the perception thing all day long and it gets me banned (lol Stu) but this is a classic example of a faux paux it just didn't come out as cute as it was intentioned! Next time maybe a bit better...............

...who want to have a great time...???

say it a couple of times and you know the editor does not speak english.


Who "want"? it is Who "Wants" ......

absolutely a MEX ad company. No US based ad would make this error.

If I was advising Sonoro Turismo, I would advise full damage control mode, by admitting and apologising for a cultural misunderstanding with no offense intended to US tourists. This would be for starters until the result could be observed. Sadly this is one more self inflicted shot in the foot at a time when Mexico can't afford it.

Well, I hope it is just a big gaffe on the part of Sonora Turismo. I really didn't want to go look for my tin foil hat!!! I just can't imagine that they wouldn't see this as not appropriate this week. The publicity on all of this (SB1070 and Calderone's visit) has been huge.......Nobody in the Turismo department said "Um, this might not be a good time for this?????" I really need my aagh smilie here, Stuart! We'll see what unfolds this week. 5 more days until I'm there!!!!!!!!!!

Look at Russ the martyr. How about you tackle racism, ageism, maybe even sexual orientation discrimination when you get done with 'fighting' biased perceptions against Mexico?

If you have time that is.

Should I cancel my family trip? I am 7 days away from coming down for a week. The family has been looking forward to our trip. However, if Mexico is watching and does not want us there, I guess I could drive another 5 hours and go to San Diego.

Don't cancel your trip. RP is safe. This guy Russ is a clown who thinks he speaks for the Mexican people. He is nothing but a mealy mouth gringo who is part of the tourism board. This ad does not represent what the Mexicans feel as I have been told by many.

Dan's right, you should go on down and enjoy yourself.

I don't agree with the banning though. It's not like he came after someone etc, like the Grim did with me. That seemed to be perfectly acceptable at that time, and trust me, I know why it was.

Beach walker, do not cancel, Rocky point and the citizens of RP, will take good care of you.
They know who butters their bread and it is people like you.

Rocky Point is beautiful and you will not regret the life time memories you will have with your family.
