Worst ad slogan ever?
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 04:52 PM by undisclosedlocation
There are untold numbers, aren't they? Another every minute, it seems like. I just heard the one for the movie Annapolis, which goes, "50,000 apply. Few will survive." Huh? Kind of calls to mind the army's equally brilliant "Army of One" approach. Locally, there's a church promoting their school with the slogan, "Experience the Expected." (Huh?)

Now I appreciate that the kneejerk reply to any such inquiry around here will be something about Bush, but for once I'm not sure it's appropriate. I mean, Vote Bush is a GREAT slogan; just not for a candidate. On the other hand, 20-odd years of it hasn't made Insert-name-of-state-here Is Bush Country any more intelligent.

So whatcha got?

1. "Think is for girls" is pretty bad
That seems to be the slogan Sweet Briar College puts on admissions pamphlets for prospective students. Their main color is pink, so I guess the "Think" is supposed to replace "pink" in the phrase "pink is for girls", but that isn't very clear.

I like the Sony PSP slogan "It's like cheese you can listen to." I just find that amusing.

2. Politically speaking, the bumper sticker that reads...
"Vote Freedom First! Vote Bush!"

5. "I got crabs at Portuguese Joe's"
A neighbourhood store that sells seafood. Fortunately.

6. Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is
Ok, I realize that the fact I remember it makes it a good slogan, but really.... the potty humor attached to it is just too much. :)

10. Hmmm, I had a sneaking suspicion there was a double-entendre to it.

8. HUMMER: like nothing else
Am I the only one who thinks this is a subliminal double entendre?
(my SO says I just have a dirty mind)

9. I suppose by definition, it would be one that is not memorable.
The result being that I can't repeat it.
