- desacrator48, on 04/04/2008, -7/+34I hope Canada is on that list. I heard they went on strike recently...but no one really cared.
- Niubai, on 04/04/2008, -0/+16Hollywood is right, don't come to Brazil. We love to steal the gringo's cameras and sell overpriced havaianas beach slippers and caipirinhas.
- breckinshire, on 04/04/2008, -0/+15I'd rather see the "Top 10 Places You Should Never Visit, According to Hobos"
- mesarah, on 04/04/2008, -0/+14Most of the places I already never visited.
- Rikkochet, on 04/04/2008, -3/+12See, Americans? Canadians ARE just like Americans! Even our stupid high school kids post grammatically-flawed ad hominem attacks when someone questions the size of their country's prick!
- hollywoodphony, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9Apparently one of the places you should never visit is a server that can handle more than 10 hits at once.
- therealkdog, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10I just cant think of one thing off the top of my head i want to see in Maine
- mark076h, on 04/04/2008, -3/+12MrBabyMan really likes these top 10 lists
- Zaetha, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9I'm not your friend, buddy!
- SpectralSounds, on 04/04/2008, -0/+810. Antarctica, as depicted in The March of the Penguins (2005) Not that the Antarctan Department of Travel and Tourism is making a big push for this any time, but films like Penguins (and, for that matter, Eight Below) remind us that it is as cold as balls on the bottom of the world, and only the majestic Emperor penguins can handle it. (Of course, if you believe Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, this might soon be a new tropical paradise.)
9. Kazakhstan, as depicted in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) It was a funny movie, and most people with a brain realize that Sacha Baron Cohen was satirizing Americans more than he was people from Kazakhstan. But do we really want to take a chance running into Urkin, the town rapist?
8. Colombia, as depicted in Romancing the Stone (1984) and Collateral Damage (2002) We’ve all heard that South America is a hotbed of rebel fighting and war atrocities. I’m sure there’s some great places to visit, but if you’re a romance writer trying to find her kidnapped sister or a firefighter bent on revenge, you might want to avoid the place.
7. Texas, as depicted in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) In reality, we know that Ed Gein (whom Leatherface was based on) was from Wisconsin, but the motion picture persona of the chainsaw-wielding psychopath left people terrified to stray from the interstate while driving through the Lone Star State.
6. Brazil, as depicted in Turistas (2006) Need a kidney? Or a spleen? Why not try the lucrative world of human organ trafficking? Whether or not you believe this concept to be an urban legend, would you blindly follow someone into the jungle of Brazil and not worry they might take your liver?
5. Burma, as depicted in Rambo (2008) Shock cinema and high-octane action met this January on the movie screen. Sylvester Stallone’s restart of his successful Rambo series came on strong with a tortuous look at the war zone in Burma. The scariest thing is that these atrocities happen every day.
4. New Mexico, as depicted in The Hills Have Eyes (2006) I’ve driven through the dusty roads, off the beaten path in New Mexico, and when the sun is setting and there’s not another car in sight, you can’t help but think mutants might just come out of the hills for a rape-and-murder rampage.
3. Mexico City, as depicted in Man on Fire (2004) and Secuestro Express (2005) As we reach the top of the list, more and more of these dangers are real and less of them are manufactured by Hollywood. Kidnapping in Mexico City is a real and dangerous thing. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but if you’re a drunk gringo, stumbling around with your wallet hanging out, you just might make yourself a target.
2. Slovakia, as depicted in Hostel (2005) This travel terror actually made news when Hostel made it big at the box office. I don’t know if the film impacted the Slovakian tourism market, but it definitely caused some waves between director Eli Roth and the Slovakian parliament. Incidentally, Roth has said he got the idea of people purchasing humans for fun torture from a real web site, but it wasn’t from Slovakia.
1. Sierra Leone, as depicted in Blood Diamond (2006) and Tears of the Sun (2003) For a while, there were plenty of movies (including The Constant Gardener and Tsotsi) coming out that basically told us to stay away from Africa completely. But it is the civil war and military unrest in Sierra Leone that is really taking place that makes this country the number one choice to avoid in your world tour vacation. HONORABLE MENTION Paris and New York, as depicted in Armageddon (1998) and Deep Impact (1998) – Let’s face it, if Earth is going to be hit with an asteroid or comet, these are the first cities it’s going to take out. Mexico, as depicted in The Ruins (2008) – We haven’t seen this movie because they didn’t do advanced screenings for critics, but I’m sure it ain’t pretty what goes down. - Niubai, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8I'm not your buddy, guy
- IphtashuFitz, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8Digg effect sure turned that website into a smoking crater awfully quickly...
- MRintheKeys, on 04/04/2008, -1/+9I thought Ninjas were suppose to be silent.
- DocH, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8digg doesn't want you to visit that site
- jasonsalas, on 04/04/2008, -6/+13stephen king's (of whom i'm a huge fan) has done wonders for literature but has pretty much destroyed the Maine tourist market.
- daRoach, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7I'm not your guy, pal!
- dukeochutney, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6odd last time i checked tourism was one of Maine's biggest assets....http://www.econdevmaine.com/resources/tourism/main ...
- SourWorm, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5And maybe that's one if its biggest attractions for some people ... place on the east coast where you can get away from the crowds?
- saikyan, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Maine is a gorgeous state. I've visited twice, and both times enjoyed the hiking, country driving, incredible seafood, beautiful coast... There aren't many landmarks (Mt. Desert Island probably being the biggest) but that means far fewer annoying "touristy" types. I intend to go back.
- GeoBjorn, on 04/04/2008, -1/+6im pretty sure i dont need a movie to tell me not to go to Sierra Leone
- SpectralSounds, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Maine has tourists? I thought the only thing that state was good for was cold, and lobster. If I wanted to go visit lobster, it would be at my local hibachi restaurant.
- demodawid, on 04/04/2008, -1/+6I'm not your pal, friend!
- SkippyDoorknob, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Lobsters?
- jkofoed, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4nice... database error ...
- Blandyman, on 04/05/2008, -0/+4Smart comment, but why do you INSIST on signing your posts? Your name's right there!
- Cornrider, on 04/05/2008, -0/+4Secuestro Express is NOT about Mexico City, it's about the situation in Caracas, Venezuela.
- EatingPie, on 04/04/2008, -2/+6Burma, from *Beyond Rangoon*... NOT Rambo.
Beyond Rangoon is about the uprising that occurred in the mid-1990s, which mirrors to a tee the uprising that was just put-down again by the Burmese Government. And it's a good movie.
-Pie - mandarin, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Good, ignorance should be left at home
- Lucas123, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Hey, it gets him the diggs: http://digg.com/tech_news/Top_100_Diggers (sorry for the spam)
- angusm, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Film-makers could probably make Liechtenstein look threatening if they set their minds to it.
I bet someone would like to set a horror movie in Disneyworld - which lets face it, is pretty creepy to start with - but the Disney lawyers have quietly put the word out that anyone who even thinks of it will be flayed and stored in a barrel of brine in Walt's cellar. - mokodo, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3yeah, don't come, you will not like it.... I always recommend this film to every foreigner I meet, saying that's the reality...
mostly the airports depicted in the end of the movie... - Blandyman, on 04/05/2008, -0/+3Holy *****. *I* was offended by that.
- Heywoodj, on 04/05/2008, -0/+3Thought The hills have eyes was Nevada not New Mexico?
- analreceiver, on 04/05/2008, -1/+4Buried for innacurate. Secuestro Express was in Caracas,Venezuela, not Mexico City.
- ReeferChiefer42, on 04/04/2008, -3/+6Top 1 Places You Should Never Visit, According to Me:
Hollywood! - troycott, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3pretty much any city or urban area when Zombies are added to the equation.
- Oddish, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3They're probably right about Texas.
- mopho, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3 that was quick...
- HanSolo69, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3Wow that was a dumb list.
- richporter, on 04/04/2008, -1/+4Lol. Maine? Tourism? Riiiiiight.
- wellyuk, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3The Telephone Museum?
http://ellsworthme.org/ringring/ - diulei, on 04/05/2008, -0/+3Agreed, for the most part. Most of Hollywood is crappy and ghetto. Far from what they would have you believe.
- pedo, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2i never saw turistas but the concept sounds stupid. beautiful american girls being used for their internal organs? get real. they would be much more valuable as sex slaves. sad, but true.
- BabyWookie, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Slovakia was depicted even worse in Eurotrip. Bratislava was shown to be some kind of a backwards, scary, decrepit ghetto. Those scenes were filmed on an abandoned, overgrown Soviet army base in the Czech Republic. Hostel was also filmed in the CR. A lot of Czechs were involved in the production of those movies and they are always looking for an opportunity to make Slovaks look bad. Kind of scummy, if you ask me. Slovakia is a beautiful, friendly country.
- Niubai, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Gringo Sex Slaves in Brasil ? The only thing brazilians are attracted about the gringos is the money. It's a local common sense that foreigner girls are not attractive: we think they're pallid and their asses are flat. Yes, I know it's a stereotype, but as a native from a famous south beach that is a big point for tourists, I can say that 90% of time the stereotype is correct.
- dezmo, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2who here saw "The Thing"?
- SubjectiveC, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2SomethingAwful did better. How pathetic: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/most-awful/hollywo ...
- natterca, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Crap list. Why for the love of god isn't TOKYO number 1?
- BTime, on 04/05/2008, -1/+3Any list that doesn't have Detroit is crap. Buried as inaccurate..
