While most states are very anti-illegal alien, New Mexico’s new tourism campaign is all about them. Space aliens, that is. Heh. But could this be a thinly veiled attempt to attract other kinds of aliens? Some locals think it’s sending a bad message, either way. Says the Denver Post:

Among the critics’ main targets is the appearance of the less-than-cuddly, reptilian spacemen, who they claim are more apt to baffle or frighten away a tourist than reel one in.

The critics are probably right. We deal with humorless people like this on a daily basis. They’re called Americans.
