「苗栗國」從網路用語到全台關注:脫口秀節目點燃議題,縣長將其打造成新品牌

Quick Look

脫口秀節目《博恩夜夜秀》於2019年深入討論「苗栗國」一詞,使此源自苗栗特殊政治生態與財政危機的網路用語受到全台關注。前縣長徐耀昌自嘲為「國王」,現任縣長鍾東錦則將其視為標籤與標竿,並宣布2027年苗栗燈會將實施來訪旅客終身免簽。文中亦提及台中立委顏寬恒接納網路揶揄推出西瓜紋消波塊抱枕,以及韓國瑜競選高雄市長時使用「禿子跟著月亮走」等語言形成高度辨識度。

Why It Matters

「苗栗國」一詞源自苗栗縣長期特殊的政治生態、地方派系結構,以及過去曾爆發的財政危機,使外界產生苗栗縣彷彿自成一國的印象。此詞最初在網路上流傳,後經脫口秀節目《博恩夜夜秀》於2019年製作專題單集深入討論後,迅速受到全台關注。

「苗栗國」此一名詞,源自苗栗長期特殊的政治生態、地方派系結構,以及過去曾爆發的財政危機所致,使外界產生一種苗栗縣彷彿就是自成一國的印象而產生。昔日脫口秀節目《博恩夜夜秀》於2019年製作專題單集深入討論此現象後,讓原本流傳於網路的「苗栗國」一詞迅速受到全台關注。

面對「苗栗國」此一名詞,前縣長徐耀昌曾自嘲是「國王」。多年來,苗栗縣長選舉,也不乏候選人喊出「撕掉苗栗國標籤」口號。不過,現任縣長鍾東錦對此名詞持開放心態,於本屆縣長就職宣誓演說時,則強調,苗栗國是標籤,也是標竿,將成為全新品牌,且他有能力做到。

請繼續往下閱讀...

明年台灣燈會,由苗栗縣承辦,網友都說2027苗栗燈會是第一次「出國」看燈會,鍾東錦也在臉書宣布,「有鑒於此,我們宣布不管是台灣派還是中華民國派,來到苗栗旅行的朋友,終身全面免簽!」

除了「苗栗國」,台中立委顏寬恒過去也接納網友對其父子的網路揶揄,於2016年推出西瓜紋飾的「消波塊」抱枕,藉此推廣台中農產品,並於2019年與當時國民黨主席朱立倫坐在海邊消波塊上合唱《聽海》,凸顯台中火力發電廠的環保議題,皆引發話題。此外,現任立法院長韓國瑜於競選高雄市長期間,以「禿子跟著月亮走」等朗朗上口的語言,搭配鮮明個人形象,形成高度辨識度。
