I'm really not sure about this one...

It's intention isn't to laugh at the travesty, but to make public awareness in a light-hearted way...

How did I miss this one? Definitely got something here. I can try to find some Sudan travel guide info if you want.

Darfur is about as dark a source for humor as one can get. JT, when you first suggested that you'd attempt this I believe you said your motivation would be to increase awareness of the situation. This piece would accomplish that task. I hope you decide to tweak it a bit, maybe take Dex's ideas/input, and actually produce it. Not to get all crazy or anything but one of the biggies for most people going on vacation is showing their photos when they return. This guy could be bitching about the pictures he has as he shows some to Cindy, maybe while waiting for customer service. Travel posters on the wall with lovely typical vacation spots and one Darfur poster would be a good piece of set dressing. I like your idea -- it helps raise awareness. Perhaps Cindy referring to her files of previous "satisfied" travelers: "unforgettable", "like no where we've ever been", etc.
