That's So Meta

Anyone up for a trip to the Schrute Farms Bed & Breakfast? It only exists on The Office, but it still has a page of reviews on TripAdvisor. Heh. No, really. The New York Times even wrote about it yesterday.

The part of the article I found somewhat disturbing was at the end, where the person from TripAdvisor says they had to add a disclaimer to the page explaining that it's not a real destination, because they had a complaint from someone who wanted to go there. I mean, I understand that not everybody watches television, and being familiar with The Office would kind of be a prerequisite to knowing this is a joke, but who would actually want to stay at a beet farm/B & B outside Scranton?
