Club Med, Croatian-Style
This is probably not a hoax. Just a really bad idea. Croatia is hoping to strike it rich by luring in tourists curious to see what it would be like to spend a couple of days in a hard-labor camp. So they're considering reopening a communist-era prison on a barren island in the Adriatic Sea, and offering it as a tourist destination. They envision "tourists being issued convict uniforms, pounding large stones with a sledgehammer and hauling the pieces on their backs to quarries around the prison." Sounds like fun.

I wonder if they'll have drinks with little umbrellas in them.

Should send each and every person who voted for GW there.

If it doesn't work out, they can always use it for next season's Survivor.

Are you sure that's not a hoax?
I mean, most of us spend a lot of time and effort, and sometimes money, trying to stay OUT of prison.
And if you really think a stretch at hard labor would be a fun vacation, you can get it for free here in Texas-- just break any of our many laws. Even breaking a law isn't necessary if you're not a white, protestant, middle-class or upper-class American-- most juries would be happy to overlook your innocence and send you away anyhow.

For an enjoyable vacation - why not? It's just one step closer to past reality for the 100,000 or so tourists who visit Alcatraz every year.

Big Gary, if you take this vacation, it won't be held against you when you try to get a job that will check into your background for any misdeeds.

Well, Maegan, whom would you rather hire?
Somebody who had a few minor indiscretions in his or her youth, or somebody who's such flaming wacko that he or she pays a lot of money to go to a prison camp and break rocks?
... On second thought, the latter person might be my boss's dream. The sort of person whose idea of fun is about the same as what my employer would like to provide. ...
