Any corporate slogans you truly hate?

[bookworm65t]

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.

:mad: :banghead:

[Odin2005]

1. "I'm lovin' it."

:puke:

[Richardo]

2. "Your potential inspires us to create software to help you reach it."

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.

[bookworm65t]

35. I always thought that slogan was too labored

:puke:

[pokerfan]

3. Toyota: "Moving forward"

Yeah, I'll bet.

[meow2u3]

24. Moving forward, all right

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

[Urban Prairie]

4. Save Money Live Better-Wal*Mart

Should be: All your wage are belong to us.

[1gobluedem]

10. + 1 million

Exactly.

[a kennedy]

13. ditto to that Urban Prairie.....

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[bookworm65t]

36. Trying to brainwash us

with its steady repetition

:puke:

[Iggo]

5. Milaukee's Best. As good as it gets.

Really? That's as good as it gets? Give me a Bud.

Oh yeah. Army Of One. That one's retarded.

[Cid_B]

16. Army of One did indeed suck..

Happier with "Army Strong"

[LynneSin]

40. I don't know if I want to live in a world where Milwaukee's Best is as good as it gets

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.

[AsahinaKimi]

6. meh..

"The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup..."

um, no.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

12. Especially if it's an athletic cup

Ow...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. You're in good hands with Allstate...

No way is that ever true.

:grr:

[TommyO]

23. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there*

*unless you get hit by one of their drivers, then you're up the creek without a paddle.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. "Fair and Balanced."

There's a brazen lie for you.

[TZ]

17. +1 brazillion!

[bookworm65t]

37. Ditto

"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.

:puke: :puke:

[MadBadger]

9. NBC: More Colorful

WTF does that mean?

[CBGLuthier]

11. army of one

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. In Lichtenstein...

[hobbit709]

15. Pretty much all of them.

[Deep13]

21. They're all either meaningless or lies. nt

[Wapsie B]

28. Gotta keep the PR dept. off the street corners somehow.

[Sweet Freedom]

18. Always: "have a happy period"

Fuck you, Always. :hi:

[GoCubsGo]

19. That one must have been aimed at those fearing they're pregnant.

The rest of us, not so much.

[hobbit709]

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.

[TZ]

20. Yeah thats pretty tacky

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!

[Dulcinea]

25. Agreed.

No such thing exists.

[bookworm65t]

39. That's the weirdest one I've heard in a while

Did a woman come up with that? :wtf:

[Doc_Technical]

26. Monsanto:

"Without chemicals, life itself
would be impossible."

[TZ]

31. Technically true.

Water is a chemical after all.

[Wapsie B]

27. "And Dow Let's You Do Great Things."

Plastered all over the tv right after the Bhopal disaster.

[arbusto_baboso]

29. That disaster led to one of the sickest jokes I ever heard.

"Who's killed more Indians than John Wayne?"

"Dow."

[Zomby Woof]

32. I thought that was Union Carbide

[SacredCow]

34. It was, at the time....

DOW has owned Union Carbide since 2000, or so- IIRC

[Clintonista2]

30. I don't know if this counts as a "corporate slogan" but I really hate the kid who says "zoom zoom"

in the mazda commercials.

[Razoor]

33. Save Money Live Better Wal-mart

what a joke. more like the walmart corporate suits save money by cutting employees hours so they can live better.

[santamargarita]

38. Yeah, all of them

:argh:
