Where's the punchline?
Apparently CNN thinks the idea of tourism in Afghanistan is hilarious, but I didn't laugh. The article is actually optimistic: It talks with several Afghans who have high hopes of someday revitalizing their country's tourism industry, and the author paints a peaceful picture of a nation struggling to rebuild.
So why is this article in CNN's "Funny Money" section? I mean, the url actually has the word "funny" in it, and other stories on the page include a video of a dancing poodle and an article about US Air accidently selling airline tickets for $1.86. If it really is that far-fetched to think of tourism in Afghanistan, shouldn't that be in CNN's "Sad" section, since the country is supposed to be an example of success in the War on Terrorism?
But the author of the article doesn't make the idea sound that far-fetched at all. Maybe the editors at CNN have a unique sense of humor. Or maybe I just don't get it.
