“We know that Kathy will represent Laos and our many celebrities in a positive light to the rest of the world. We are hoping she will come to the country for her first visit sometime in the next six months. We will be pleased to pick her up at the Bangkok Airport since Laos does not have its own airport. If she would like to bring any of her good friends like Paris Hilton or that rich guy from Apple, we would welcome them as well.”
For her part, Griffin is pleased to be receiving attention from the small, landlocked nation. “I am always looking to broaden my audience and I really think that Laotians will get me and my humor. At first, I thought they wouldn’t be my demographic, you know what I mean, cough, gays, cough, but it turns out they’re big Barbra Streisand fans so there you go. Laos is definitely a destination we should all think about going to, or at least reading about in Wikipedia. So Colbert and Jesus can move over and Thailand can suck it!”
Griffin’s responsibilities as Tourism Ambassador will include manning a table at the Asian Expo in downtown Burbank and signing her name as “Kathy Griffin, Laos Rocks!” at all future book signings.
Pimchranon adds that by signing Griffin to this $850 per year position, Laos is receiving three ambassadors for the price of one with the addition of Griffin’s assistants, Tom, and newly skinny and hot Tiffany who “is just the type of woman Laotian men drool over.”
