So I’ve spent hours upon hours (not really) on some posters for an Affirmative Action Debate coming up. They do look awesome, if I do say so myself (and I do). Last night I submitted them to the committee whereupon I was hoisted upon their shoulders and my name was sung in the streets and shops until dawn.
However, amidst all the cheering and high praises, the High Priestess of Deflation and Queen Spoil-Sport happened to mention that the posters need a slogan and proceeded to scrawl the following on one of them.
“A Debate that explores what AA is and what it isn’t. Where do you stand?”
I am fully aware that if that gets put on the poster, the only two people who will read it are myself and perhaps a historian 200 years in the future who finds a miraculously preserved copy who then goes on to formulate a theory of overt banality causing the Great Academic Holocaust of 2010.
Kidding aside, (and out of fear that someone I know reads this) I must say that I have nothing but respect for our president. However, I need a new slogan and in addition to being one of the lesser creative people I know (this vain attempt at humor should suffice as direct evidence), I’m tapped on ideas from simply creating the damn posters in the first place.
I beg you, please, please, please, help me to come up with a catchy slogan that will keep people awake for the 1.4 seconds it takes to read it. The title on the posters is “What is Affirmative Action?” if that helps to avoid repetition.
To add a little extra spice and challenge to the mix, the targets of these posters are college students. Perhaps all efforts are futile?
