A note on terrible publicity concepts: Someone in our neighboring prefecture to the west, Nagasaki, who really at this point should be jobless, came up with this advertising slogan for JR (warning - NSFW): “Kiss my Nagasaki.” Important here is that “Nagasaki” literally means “long peninsula” and the ad is accompanied by a photo of some boy band … uh … boys. It doesn’t take Fellini to figure this out.
Fortunately, we in Kumamoto have our G-rated Kumamon. Any ideas on a G-rated mascot for Nagasaki? 99-Shimamon? - William
