Parlez-vous polite?

Sorry. Saw it. Just had to post it/share it. Found it amusing in a "you are trying too hard" sort of way. (Not to restart the age-old debate, but I fall in with those who have not had problems with French attitudes or the French.) http://www.today.com/travel/parlez-vous-polite-paris-manual-teaches-how-not-be-rude-6C10512931 Are there any other examples you've encountered of Tourist Boards trying too hard to make their city/country be something its (perhaps) not ...and perhaps something that the visitor is not really looking for?

My spouse and I participated in the Paris Greeter program a few year ago and it was wonderful! Even better, our host came and visited us in Chicago.
