Heaven help us all

I just saw on Friday Night with Jonathon Ross that the Scots have spent £125,000 on a new advertising campaign to attract tourists to the country. Something to welcome visitors to the vibrant, modern Scotland and make it a visit they will never forget.

They came up with:

Welcome to Scotland

Words fail me.

Yes!! We used to laugh at people in advertising because they clearly spend their lives wafting around Thinking Rooms and vying for time on The Unhappy Beanbag, but I guess this just goes to show: I'm in the wrong business!

Can't help feeling a bit of national pride there, i love that feeling of "wayhay!"-ing and backing up something completely stupid, just because it's amusing and Scottish.
