Bought a new gfx card. The company slogan was “Rock solid, Heart touching.”. Almost made me return the damn thing. Whats your silly slogan that just makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking. I believe this might be a bit tame for the BBQpit. If so Im claiming it was a beginners mistake, and ask the mods to please find a better home for it. ---

It’s been said before, but “every kiss begins with kay” pisses me off to no end. ---

Helzberg Diamonds, a jeweler here, is running a campaign that pisses me off. “That Guy does (something thoughtful or nice). Regular guys go to Helzberg.” So Helzberg is for douchebags? ---

Not really a company, I guess, but I always thought “together we can lick breast cancer” could have been worded better. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] Live Chickens Fresh Killed [/QUOTE] It sounds fine to me. I personally would not eat chicken that had been killed after it was dead. Thats just gross. 😛 ---

Stupid, lame-ass slogans have bothered me much less since my husband and I have started saying, after hearing one, “Because all the good slogans were taken!” (“What can Brown do for you?” is one of the worst examples. It sounds like something that sounded really good in an advertising boardroom somewhere, and just sounds beyond lame in the real world.) ---

> [@](#): > > “Tell them about the discount, Harry” There is an ad for {awnings?} where poor Harry is trying to talk, and the bitch he married keeps interrupting, telling Harry to tell them about the discount. Over and over. I would love it if just once, Harry stopped and called her an ignorant cunt who has made his life a living hell. But that’s just me. ---

In the “olden” days, i.e., my childhood… Campbell’s Express trucks had the lovely graphic of the racing camel with the slogan “Humpin’ to Please.” [http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/js\_campbell66.htm](http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/js_campbell66.htm) ---

“Your world delivered” for AT&T is pretty lame, and doesn’t make much sense. ---

“What can brown do for you” was my immediate thought too. That’s a horrible slogan. What on earth were they thinking? ---
