Slogan albanske turističke zajednice “Be taken by Albania” mnoge je zbunio jer su odmah u njemu prepoznali referencu na film 96 sati (Taken), u kojem Liam Neeson glumi bivšeg agenta CIA-e čiju kćer otmu albanski trgovci ljudima.
Albanci ne samo da se na film referiraju namjerno, već su se obratili direktno Neesonu, kojeg su videom pozvali u svoju zemlju. U snimci objašnjavaju Neesonu što će ga sve očarati (igra riječima – taken by Albania) u Albaniji, a obratio mu se, između ostalih, i ministar turizma.
In possibly the best state-sponsored troll of the decade, Albania has unveiled a new tourism slogan: "Get TAKEN By Albania."
Reminder: The TAKEN movie franchise starring Liam Neeson features Albanian gangsters as the villains. The tourism website even addresses Neeson directly. pic.twitter.com/d1lVlfvm6T

Be Taken by Albania.
Fact: that is their official tourism slogan. I'm down. Do I bring my own chair or what?

Albania thought is was funny to promote itself with the movie Taken (in which women get sex trafficed by Albanians & where Albania is shown as a mafia safehold). It backfired in a spectacular way & put the focus back on AL struggle to fight organized crime https://t.co/yL8ifeUIeu

OK there will definitely be controversy & I bet #LiamNeeson & his lawyers “will not be taken” – but cheeky #Albania launches new ‘Be #Taken’ tourism campaign with appeal to overcome prejudice https://t.co/4DtVlJptkU – this will definitely win awareness! @zlatko_vucetic
