Funny photo helps drum up Canada tourism
It all started when a couple from Minnesota set the timer on their digital camera so they could get a photo together. The couple ended up a blurred afterthought in the background when a squirrel with impeccable timing popped into the picture at just the right moment.
Now Banff National Park is using the squirrel vacation picture as a device to encourage tourists to come visit the sqirrels and the rest of the park.
Humor makes headlines
The squirrel vacation picture made international headlines after Melissa Brandt submitted the photo to NationalGeographic.com and it won Photo of the Day.
Banff National Park has even set up a Twitter account for the squirrel that became immortalized in the squirrel vacation picture. The "Banff Crasher Squirrel" also has a Facebook fan page. His listed occupation? Actor.
