My favorite:

Mexico is a big country. Reports of drug-related violence in Ciudad Juarez don't mean you're at risk in Puebla or Playa del Carmen, nor should crime in northern Baja keep you away from Loreto, Todos Santos or Los Cabos. Would knowing that Miami has the highest violent crime rate in the United States keep you from going to the Grand Canyon, or even Disney World, in the same state? In the vast majority of Mexican destinations, you can expect a tranquil vacation with warm and hospitable hosts.
