Five Destinations That Could Really Use a Nude Prince Harry Scandal

August 22, 2012 at 3:10 PM | by | Comment (1)

In case you've been living in an alternate universe (one without TMZ) since yesterday, you've heard by now of Prince Harry's nude hijinks in a Las Vegas suite. While bad for him, it's been great for promoting nakationing and Sin City tourism (not necessarily at the same time). Even Virgin Holidays reported seeing a "Prince Harry Effect" of inquiries for Vegas travel jumping 30%.

Well we feel that Vegas doesn't need the help. That "Prince Harry Effect" could absolutely be used by numerous other world destinations, and here's FIVE in particular:

Mexico: Continuous CNN alerts of drug-related murders in Mexico really detract from the blue waters and cultural vibrance of Mexico's safer areas. A little tan-lined butt flash from Prince Harry would give the country the tad bit of positive press it needs to get similarly pasty-fleshed revelers packing those Pacific beaches.


Tunisia: It was around this time last year that Tunisia launched what we called the "World's Most Morbid Tourism Campaign," seeking to attract vacationers while the dust was still settling on the Arab Spring. Now, if Prince Harry was partying in Hammamet, we'd have a whole other series of billboards for Tunis to paste along British roadways.


Switzerland: Let's be honest. Switzerland doesn't need any help attracting interest. We include them simply because they, of all countries, have been most forward in recent years with exploiting the natural sexual appeal of their citizens. Remember this ad? That was from 2006 and we still think about it sometimes. And, hello, their slogan was "Get Natural." Maybe Prince Harry should produce a version of this for Cornwall or something?


Atlantic City, NJ: As we said, Vegas needs no aid in attracting tourists and partiers. Atlantic City, however, DOES. Cross the country and Harry could've had a larger suite for less plus a view of the Atlantic Ocean. The odds are pretty great that those girls—the ones with whom Harry's posse partied and stripped—were from Jersey anyway.


London: Poor England. The royal jewels are finally accessible to commoners and us American don't properly appreciate it, snapping poor-quality cell phone pics while a TV blares in the background. Had this happened on Oxford Street, Harry would have at least gotten a little bunting to dress up the momentous occasion.

From the USA across the seas to the UK societies elites yet again prove to be condescending and blatantly disrespectful in regards to the struggles, taxes and woes of the public. With banks in the US rewarding themselves huge bonuses and monarchs frolicking around nude in overpriced suites on the public's dime one must ask why these superiors feel the need to shove their indecency in our faces? And why do we ,as the people who allow their lifestyle to exist, accept it ? Unless of course we've resigned ourselves to the banality of the situation and the fact that the Prince is some sort of desperate action hero who ought to be sequestrated for his own good....? http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2012/08/naked-prince-harry-photos-provoke-the-wrath-of-the-queen/
