I'm too easy to fight. An 18 year old girl once beat me hands down (literally) at arm wrestling - true story. The only way to get rid of me is to give me white chocolate.

City campaign aims to draw 50 million tourists
By Karla Schuster, Newsday, Melville, N.Y.McClatchy-Tribune Regional News

Oct. 11--New York's latest tourism campaign is short on pitch and long on pictures, hoping to lure world visitors by letting the city that never sleeps speak for itself.

The $30-million campaign, unveiled yesterday, has a simple slogan -- "This is New York City" -- and combines real-life city scenes with fantasy elements to highlight sights and activities from shopping to the Unisphere at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

For example, the campaign's 60-second television commercial features scenes such as a bobblehead-doll baseball player standing on the mound at Yankee Stadium, the Statue of Liberty waving at a child aboard the Staten Island Ferry, and a giant pair of red slingbacks crossing Fifth Avenue with a shopping bag in tow. The soundtrack is a remixed version of Ella Fitzgerald singing "Take the A Train."

"This is New York City"? Well, DUHHH. I thought I must have taken a wrong turn back at Albuquerque!
