Brochures promoting cow manure tossing recalled

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma tourism officials have recalled about 200,000 brochures with images of activities that may have seemed uninviting to some travellers, such as cow manure tossing and re-enacting Confederate battles.



The pamphlet, called 2005 Annual Events Guide, featured events and activities throughout Oklahoma. It was also riddled with spelling, grammatical and factual mistakes.


"We discovered the material in the event guide was culturally insensitive and contained errors," said state tourism director Rob Gray on Wednesday.


One item that may not have helped was a photo of an event in which lumps of cow manure are thrown as a part of a contest in the town of Beaver, in western Oklahoma.

3. I like to throw the lumps of manure at people.

If you can catch it as soon as it comes out of the cow, you'll be amazed at how fast people can run.
