It’s Metronatural Day!
Hey, Seattle-ites! Did you know that it’s Metronatural Day, thanks to a proclaimation by our very own mayor Greg Nickels?
Do you even know what a “Metronatural” is?
Well, gosh, it’s Seattle that’s “metronatural”, at least according to the folks at Exclaim, a local marketing firm who have created for the City of Seattle the most moronic advertising campaign since “SayWA”. No, wait, I take that back: “Metronatural” is an even stupider advertising campaign than “SayWA”.
Edit: here is the definition provided for “metronatural”
Metronatural: 1. having the characteristics of a world-class metropolis within wild, beautiful natural surroundings; 2. a blending of clear skies and expansive water with a fast-paced city life; 3. one who respects the environment and lives a balanced lifestyle of urban and natural experiences; 4. Seattle
Nothing is more stupid than Say WA. Nothing. At least metronatural is accurately descriptive. Actually, I think I like it. Call me crazy.
Aaron? You’re crazy.
I guess I’m crazy too. Wait, maybe it’s you that’s crazy Zee. Sorry. Think about it before you judge. It’s pretty smart. Of course if you are stupid…
Lots of people don’t like it: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/soundoff/comment.asp?articleID=289407

It’s way better than “Say WA”. While I still don’t think it’s that great (are any of these types of things ever any good?), it’s better than most I’ve heard people try to come up with.
I think it’s equally stupid.
