The U.S. State Department is trying to forgo another Otto Warmbier situation by tweeting out horrendously bad Spring Break advice. If you don’t already know what’s up, you shouldn’t be allowed to travel outside of your house. Like, you should know this:

Right. Bring money when going places — excellent advice.
But one of their most recent tweets was worded so poorly, that people flipped a sh*t so hard they deleted the post. Us, on the other hand, found the whole thing hilarious.
Noted. If you’re ugly in the U.S., you’re going to be ugly in Italy, France, Bangladesh, and Spain. If you can’t get laid here, you’re not getting laid there. And if some schmuck starts whispering sweet nothings into your ear about how good-looking you are, then buys you a fancy cocktail, it’s a scam. Got it.
Considering the immediate backlash they received from readers, the U.S. State Department had no other choice but to offer an apology:
