Seattle Is Trying to Poach Our Tourists

Bet you won't find this guy in Seattle
Hey, Seattle, get your own damn tourists!

Seattle's Convention and Visitor's Bureau has launched an annoyingly clever campaign to poach tourist away from San Francisco, because apparently they can't convince the international masses that Seattle -- not San Francisco -- is the place to be.

The 2DaysInSeattle.com campaign will infiltrate San Francisco tomorrow night, when posters advertising Seattle and all its coolness will be draped across San Francisco's most obvious tourist hubs, including the Powell Street BART station.

Essentially, Seattle hopes that come Wednesday morning, tourists will take one look at those posters and jump right out of their cable car to make that 12-hour (beautiful) trek to Seattle where it's probably raining.

Lame

Okay, maybe Seattle is cheaper, and you can eat all the Happy Meals you want there, but so what? We have more naked people running around -- and sex always sells.
