The Mexico Tourism Board Greets You!

... in the comments of this news story on a mass kidnapping in Acapulco. Scan the article and then go down to the comments.

In all seriousness, it's such an enormous tragedy that all of the good, hard-working people in the Mexican tourism industry are getting hurt by the drug war. The soccer game before my daughter's yesterday featured at least one team from a San Diego border community. You can't listen to Hispanic parents urging their soccer-playing kids on in Spanish and not smile. It's a beautiful thing.

It's a good bet that parents in parts of Mexico are spending more time worrying about personal safety and less on kids' soccer. What a waste.

The violence getting to the resort areas is a very bad sign for Mexico. But those comments were darn funny.
