My wife hasn't taken me to a Santa Fe gallery since 1994 when I asked the owner how he could charge $500 for a picture of an ugly woman who wasn't even showing her t*ts.

I thought advertising was all about the lowest common denominator?
New tourism slogan: “Rocks! We got lots and lots of rocks!”
Most likely they are :)
Rival neighboring states like Utah (with its "Life Elevated" campaign) and Colorado ("Let's Talk Colorado") appeal more directly to older, richer boomers in their tourism campaigns.
Jeezum Crow! Does everything--every damned thing in the world--have to be designed and built specifically to appeal to the baby boomer arts, whine and cheese crowd?!
I was born in New Mexico. I live in New Mexico. I travel in New Mexico to visit places like Roswell and White Sands and I think it's a great ad campaign. But I happen to not be a boomer, so my dollars and opinion don't count....
....why don’t they throw in a free anal probe? Offer a family package.
I agree—and when I think of Baby Boomers coming to Santa Fe, I think of those posh ancient liberals or old Texan hags who can’t get to the bathroom in time and get severly lost in Santa Fe as they drive 15 MPH down a 35 MPH road.
With the growth of the film and effects industry here, why the heck are we giving money to a California firm? We should be able to produce all the weird ads we need.
Wasn’t there an outsourced NM ad that had suguaro cactus in it a couple years back?
If they want to appeal to boomers so much, why don’t they just have an ad with a weird old white woman drunk on Merlot in some crappy gallery in Santa Fe with the legend: “Your Cats Will Hardly Know You’re Gone”

Hey, they coulda been nice... :)
Yeah.... We need an ad campaign that appeals directly to the ugly Santa Fe women who won't even show their t#ts.
You should be in marketing (if you're not already).
Better ad-ing on extra-terrestrial aliens than illegal aliens.
New Mexico: The truth is out there
You mean the ones who move to Santa Fe from New York and California, and then immediately outfit their wardrobes with "trendy" southwestern-looking items, including lots of turquoise jewelry?
