  1. The Mona Lisa - Tiny fucking painting behind bulletproof glass and a sea of goddamn selfie sticks. Fucking thrilling. You'll spend more time trying to see around people's shitty heads than actually appreciating the art.

  2. Times Square - Congrats, you've found the world's biggest collection of billboards and costumed creeps. Hope you enjoy being aggressively marketed to while dodging assholes trying to sell you their shitty mixtape.

  3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa - It's a tilted building. Wow. Fucking revolutionary. Let's all take the same damn photo. Bonus points if you pretend to hold it up, because that's definitely not overdone, you unoriginal bastards.

  4. Stonehenge - A bunch of big-ass rocks in a field. Prepare to be fucking whelmed. You can't even get close to the stones anymore, so enjoy your distant view of prehistoric rocks, you gullible twats.

  5. Hollywood Walk of Fame - Nothing says glamour like dirty stars on a grimy-ass sidewalk. Marvel at the names of celebrities you've never heard of while dodging street performers and tourists like it's a fucking obstacle course.

  6. Manneken Pis - It's a small statue of a pissing boy. Really, Brussels? This is your claim to fame? People travel thousands of miles to see a fountain of a urinating child. Let that shit sink in.

  7. Buckingham Palace - Watch some guards in funny hats not move. Riveting shit. Unless you're there for the changing of the guard, in which case enjoy being crushed by crowds for a glimpse of some choreographed walking. How fucking exciting.

  8. Fisherman's Wharf - Overpriced seafood and tacky souvenir shops. San Francisco at its finest. Nothing says authentic local culture like mass-produced keychains and overpriced clam chowder in a bread bowl. Enjoy your tourist trap, suckers.

  9. The Little Mermaid Statue - It's small, it's underwhelming, and it's usually surrounded by disappointed tourists. Congratulations, you've traveled all the way to Copenhagen to see a statue smaller than your grandmother's fucking garden gnome.

  10. Checkpoint Charlie - A replica guardhouse and actors in costume. Because nothing says "Cold War history" like a tourist trap. Enjoy your fake stamp in your passport and overpriced communist memorabilia, you gullible shits.
