Unfortunately for U.S. planners, El Salvador, a beautiful country of lush vegetation and picturesque mountain gorges, is currently one of the most violent lands in the world. An estimated 20,000 Salvadorans have been killed in the past two years alone. As many as 1,000 are murdered or disappear each month.

The camera pans over the depressed faces of dining customers--and the lush orchestration conjures up images of black-tie dinner dances--and we get it again. By the time the set rolls back to reveal a giant montage of famous depression photos, Ross might as well have splashed a garish "ironic, get it?" across the screen...
