This is the new ‘strapline’ for the Seoul Tourist Commission.

Come To Seoul And Shake Up Your Soul. Seoul: The Soul Of Asia.

Now who is this ad for again?

I like “Soul of Asia”, but not that weird mismash of three straplines in one convoluted mess.

I’m guessing the community strapline will be Our Seoul?

Comment by John Dodds

Your Seoul is mine. Jesus I should be in advertising.

Comment by Satan

Its an awful line but for so many who don’t even know the name of any Asian capitals it’ll do the job. Next line: Come to Seoul and get Arseouled?
