Meet Your New Nation of Origin Designs!

by Robert Koehler on December 19, 2008

Seoul Business Agency is asking restaurants in Sinsa-dong and Hongdae to use these spiffy new nation-of-origin stickers on their menus.

The designs are by the support centers of the Gangnam and Map design clusters, and are part of the SBA’s plan to improve public design.

A few years back, the WTO ruled against Korea, stating that it was an unfair trade practice to sell imported beef at a different counter than the domestic beef…The loss didn’t put an end to the practice, though. As a matter of fact, the price of Korean beef has more quadrupled since the ruling.

Where’s the 미친육 sticker? Still under design?

Looks like a snazzy avatar. Can someone give me some dumb-proof instructions on how to set those things up?

Hoju Man,

You go to Gravatar and register, pick one avatar or several, activate the one, and then use it. You can get many avatars from the Interwebus – just Google them.

You’ll likely have to first clear your browser temporary history and reboot.

My apologies if the instructions aren’t clearer – I’m not tech-savvy.

Are you going to have the first redback avatar?

This comment is to see if, indeed, I have changed my Gravatar to reflect my national meatiness.

Yay! It works!

Damn, stafford beat me to it. I may have to reconsider, since I’ll no longer be (as) cool.

BTW, thanks Cactus.
