Any corporate slogans you truly hate? |
|
The two companies I despise the most:
GE- "Imagination at Work"
Bullshit. I worked for GE Money (or GE Capital, whatever) for almost four years, and what they DON'T reward is imagination. The co. is Dilbert-land at its finest (or worst). Not to mention that for many years, whenever I bought a 4-6 pack of light bulbs, I could always count on at least one bulb being a dud. I have hardly heard a positive experience of working for any area of GE. The slogan is a brazen lie.
Time Warner-"The Power of You".
This slogan makes me almost throw objects at my TV. Just last week I lost another cable channel. The system goes down at least 2-3 times a day; I am sick of the blue Mystro screen. My choices have been continuing to dwindle, yet the bill continue to climb. Customer service is an oxymoron. I have very little power here. I cna't suspend my service because my parents watch most of the TV here.

WHAT?!?
Microsoft at its most condescending, and convoluted. That used to play on NPR all the time. Hated it from the first time I heard it.

The slogan should read, "Toyota: 'Moving out of control'"!

|
and :wtf: is with the poor folks of Milwaukee - what a bunch of slackers to have THAT as their best beer. Not exactly inspiring me to every visit that city.

"I would rather use what's left of my mind, thank you"
Bill O'Reilly has the thinest skin in show-biz. I said that to the freepers in my family; they kept insisting that he is not in showbiz. Guess they are not really listening to him either.

22. I've NEVER met a woman who had a "happy' period |
|
Some had not bad periods at times. A couple were happy that they had a period at the time but none ever had a "happy" one.

I actually use their stuff but when I see that I think "this slogan was designed and approved by men". No sane woman would say that!
