Stock Photography Fail
Staying at a Hampton Inn in Miami, this was my room key, carefully branded by Hilton Hotels Corporation to include the friendly and regional Florida welcome. Nice attention to detail. Notice, however, the image in the middle left, where a license plate on a vintage vehicle cheerfully suggests that I "Explore Kentucky." (Click image if you don't believe me or if you have poor eyes.)
Who knows, maybe it was intentional, in that "You're not just welcome in Florida, you should check out Hampton Inns in Kentucky as well" way.

"Welcome to Florida. We don't want you. Go back to Kentucky, loser."

that texture paired up with the car kinda has a vehicular manslaughter feell to it

Florida, Kentucky - it's all the same to us? (This message coming to you live from Boca Raton, I kid you not.)

Maybe they're assuming you're an out-of-state visitor, though I wonder how many snowbirds are in Kentucky.

Perhaps Kentucky is the leading exporter of tourists to Florida?

maybe they were referencing the kentucky-florida college football game...? or maybe hampton inns aren't too concerned with art direction. probably the latter. be sure to carefully check your bill.
