Spin the Agencies of Record

The state of Kentucky has fired British firm Gosh PR for a campaign that the state’s tourism department called “offensive and stereotyped.” The firm, which was hired in 2008 to promote the state abroad, launched a site that encouraged tourists to play a game called “roadkill bingo” where you count the number of dead animals on the road for points. Also, the site told tourists to visit Hazzard County, the fake place from The Dukes of Hazzard, which, BTW, was located in Georgia.
