Advertising the United States?

Recently a commercial was released to draw tourists to the States.  You can watch it here

It is interesting, but I do not know if it will be effective.  I was especially confused when it showed obscure locations in the United States.  Many people seem to visit big cities, but I suspect that very few will go the swamps in the South, random fields of flowers, or large dinners in the country.  It is also hard to know whether they are telling people to visit or move here. 

Personally, I think a better technique would be to find what people like about America and promote that.  This ad seems to show everything that we offer, thereby showing nothing specific that would draw tourists.  I want to go to other countries to see specific and well-known sites.  While this did show some big name locations, I thought it could have done better.

What do you think?  Would you want to visit the US after seeing this?
