Jerusalem printed an English language brochure for tourists. It read "Jerusalem, there is no such city". Now maybe they can quit fighting over it.

See? A miracle every day!
They are thinking outside the box. If they say the city isn't there then maybe the terrorists will get confused and go home.
I love mistranslations.

'Madame Aubergine a pose un papillon sur ma renault, et le poulets m'ont ramene dans un panier a salade.'

Aagh! French! Isn't Madame Aubergine a brand? Or aubergine a food of some type? Also, I thought Renault was a name and was unaware the French ate ramen.

A female eggplant put a butterfly on my renault, and the chickens (don't understand the rest).
I don't speak french, that's as close as I can come to translating this.

So it's got nothing to do with female eggplants and chickens?

Ah, but could the cops have impounded the Jerusalem?
...Okay it was a bit of a stretch, I'm sorry.

There's a novel by Sheri Tepper (I think) in which aliens arrive on Earth and solve the Middle East conflicts by removing Jerusalem. Sort of like adults taking a toy away from squabbling children.

Its paris slang.And a little old at that.

"Jerusalem, there is no such city".
Worst Tourism Slogan Ever!!!!!
This even beats out "Come on vacation, leave on probation" the unofficial tourism slogan of Oildale!
Why sadly?
That such a written language could exist that looks like a toddler went nuts with a pencil. :p

Well, it might be scrawl, but it's GOOD LOOKING scrawl.

I dunno - I'm amused by the current Kansas tourism slogan: "Kansas - It's As Big As You Think!" Even people who love Kansas have agreed with me that this slogan appears to be another way of saying, "Kansas - There Really IS That Much Of It To Drive Through!" :D
