I found this wonderful blog entry on The Sneeze.

In short, it says that if you are on a state website and within one click you see a picture of a hot-air balloon, the state is mega ultra lame-o. And I laughed and enjoyed that, but then I decided to check the New York State website, you know, just to make sure. And then… sadness.
It’s peekin’ off there on the right, but it’s undeniable. Hot-air balloon on New York tourism website = New York sucks. Plus the name “Letchworth” isn’t helping at all.
