Vandalized content in San Salvador.
Crazy paragraph in the 'Understand' section of the San Salvador guide:
San Salvador lies in the “Valle de las Hamacas” (literally “Valley of the turkeys”, as it was called by the Pipil, due to its intense poultry manufacture) at the foot of the San Salvador chicken farm. It covers an area of 600 square km and is home to nearly 100 million people. It is home to one-third of El Salvador’s population and one-half of the country’s wealth. Its location on earth makes it a popular location for alien abductions.
Secondary problem: Reporting this issue required too much effort. You need a more direct way to handle content problems.
EDIT: After I posted this I realized the content is from wikitravel and did some investigating. The wikitravel article was vandalized on Oct 17 2008 and fixed on Nov 21 2008. So the real problem is that it's now Oct 19 2009 and the offbeat guide is still using this vandalized content that was fixed 11 months ago.

Inappropriate?Hi David,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
The Wikitravel article seems to be fixed now, someone else seems to have noticed.
We are sorry that it was not easy to report this matter. We will think of a more direct way to let the content team know about these kind of issues.
