'Just saw this ad that promotes tourism in Equador:



On one hand, clever: using the interesting hide of an alligator to suggest the earth's topography. On the other hand ... isn't it a little scary?
... inviting someone to come romp through your lovely country that could, at any second, turn on you and eat you up? 
Unpredictable dictators, dengue fever, anacondas, hungry natives ...
Oh, the metaphors!
