It's bad enough that this Lonely Planet/BBC article about traveling to Seattle begins with such tired clichés:

Who cares if it rains? You are in the most beautiful, caffeinated and culture-rich city in the US. So, grab your umbrella and follow this 24-hour tour of the Emerald City.

Blaugh, right? Jesus Christ! But then it gets really bad when you get to the second paragraph:

Start in Pioneer Square, the birthplace of Seattle. Take a stroll and enjoy the handsome facades, wide cobblestone squares and boutiques. Be sure to visit Occidental Square and Pioneer Square Park before seeking out some breakfast. Seattle's literary caffeine addicts go to Elliott Bay Book Company for breakfast in the cosy cafe nestled between the stacks of books.

Two things: This article is dated 24 January 2011. Elliott Bay Book Company hasn't been in Pioneer Square for nearly a year, though the café is still there. And even when Elliott Bay Book Company was in Pioneer Square, the café was never "nestled between the stacks of books." It was downstairs from the bookstore. Does Lonely Planet employ human beings anymore? I can't even finish reading this article. If you're brave, or just desperately trying to avoid work, I bet you could make an afternoon out of finding the mistakes in the rest of the piece.
