Oregon's New Travel Video May Inspire Acid Trips More Than Vacations

A new Oregon travel video seems to suggest a visit to the Beaver State is more like a psychedelic acid trip.

The anime-style video shows children riding giant rabbits, frogs reading newspapers and caterpillars bicycling through the forest. Oh, and the clouds all look like humpback whales.

The video is part of a $5 million campaign to boost state tourism, according to Travel Oregon director of global communications Linea Gagliano.

“We felt like the only way to convey the incredible feeling of being in Oregon is through animation,” Gagliano told the Statesman Journal. “It creates much more of that wonder you feel when you travel someplace new.”

I mean, wow--far out, man. Groovy! What a trip! I encourage everyone, especially one-time hippies (I'm one o' those) to come to Oregon and enjoy our fantastic landscape from border to border. Just remember--visit but don't stay. (As a former Governor once famously said.) Seriously, do stay. It's one damned awesome state. Our motto is: She Flies With Her Own Wings. Even the bunny kind!

Hey, TexasTowellie, thanks again for all your posts about my home state, the good, the bad and the outa sight. Love 'em!

and pardon me for not responding earlier, but there were a few pieces of paperwork that needed to be filed in the real world today.
