Why Doesn't the US Have Bureaucrats Like This?

From an upcoming conference on social media and government, in Canada:

This is not an event put on by the Government of Canada. You can argue with your boss that this will be a highly effective low-cost training opportunity, and if you really need it we can make up a convincing yet completely untruthful conference pamphlet to help make the argument.

This guerrilla action brings a whiff of the old days of bulletin boards (back when 2400 baud was a good speed, not that many people these days know what a "baud" is).
