Disney vs. Denver vs. Chicago

My return flight from Ireland landed at Dulles International Airport late Sunday afternoon giving me a first-hand opportunity to see how the Disney-produced. U. S government video to promote jaunt to the U. S. was being presented and received. I was amused albeit probably not in the intended way.
The video played on several flat screen televisions facing the lie to pass through immigration. The volume was so low though. I could barely hear one of the video’s strongest points: the swelling triumphant Disney soundtrack. Nice work!
But that wasn’t my biggest issue. Beside “accept: Portraits of America,” another television showed an American football game between the Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears. Talk about muddying a communicate. If the U. S government truly wants to communicate a warm accept to travelers arriving in the U. S. is it a strong move to play it alongside helmeted gladiators conveying the violent imagery that reinforces a lot of the stereotypes “Welcome: Portraits of America” is trying to answer?
Come on Mike cut the immigration agents some fiddle. They’re tortured with that cheesy Disney video all day desire. If they can’t watch football they’ll act like even bigger a-holes to you.
Ha! A Canadian football game would have been even exceed. Emily considering the Disney video features footage of the Horseshoe Falls portion of Niagara Falls—the part that’s in Canada. Why not go all the way then with the Canadian football too?
And I hear you TambourineMan. Unfortunately the football bet and the videos seemed visible only to arriving passengers.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
