Forget Cultural Integrity! Screw Taste! We Want Our Dracula Theme Park!

You’ve got to hand it to the bullheaded people in the Romanian tourism ministry. They have a vision. They have a dream. Never mind that the United Nations now says their idea is simply awful; that it probably lacks taste and will likely rob a Romanian city of its culture. The Romanian tourism honchos insist they want to build a Dracula theme park: a place where people from all walks of life can celebrate the 15th century count who inspired Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” buy plastic fangs and polyester capes and generally spend gobs and gobs of bani.

According to a report on CNN, a survey conducted next month will decide the plan’s fate, not the complaints of UNESCO and other organizations.
