‘Arrive a guest.. Leave a legend’: North Dakota tourism ad pulled for being too sleazy
The advertisement was meant to showcase North Dakota’s nightlife: Two young men and three women flirt through the window of a downtown Fargo motel bar. Printed next to them is the message: ‘Drinks, dinner, decisions. Arrive a guest. Leave a legend.’
It was meant to be ‘a little flirty, a little fun,’ said Pat Finken, president of Odney Advertising, the agency that created the ad.
Instead, some found it a tawdry come-on, prompting the state’s tourism division to yank it from its Facebook page late Thursday after it drew dozens of complaints and comments.

Meh – I guess Fargo must be like the Las Vegas of the Dakotas then?
