Ann Curry Is Unimpressed With Dubai
A couple weeks back NBC's Today Show did their annual "Where in the World is Matt Lauer" shtick. We did not tune in, but we should have. The Lauer is Lost segments can be informative, entertaining, and most of all, chalk full of unintended humor.
In any event, a tipster alerted us to a video (the one half way down on the right) showing Today Show host Ann Curry breaking down Matt's Dubai portion of the trip with travel everywhere-man Peter Greenberg.
Peter and Ann have a three minute conversation about Dubai, and by the pace of their speech, the two of them must have been backstage downing Claritin and coffees, or greenies, before they arrived on set.
Anyway, near the end lap of their double speed Dubai travel talk, Ann, who seems absolutely miffed you can't eat cheap food and visit archaeological sites in Dubai, says:
I've been to Dubai. All I've seen is a shopping mall, I can see a shopping mall in the United States.
So there you have it. Ann Curry's back of the envelop travel guide to Dubai--it is full of pre-fab strip mall bullshit.
Looks like you can forget about offering Ann Curry a house in The World, or a job at Halliburton.
