Strange company slogans that just rubs you the wrong way.

Clearly, the company went out and spent loads and loads of money procuring the best, most up-to-date pencil-sharpener technology available.

That, or the people there always write in pen, but keep sharp pencils around for stabbing customers they don’t like.

Carrabba’s Italian Grill: “People are our specialty.”

It would be one thing if they spouted that slogan at a point in their commercials when they’d been talking about their great service. But no - they go into it directly from telling you about their menu options. :smiley:

So they serve Soylent Green? or are their clientele zombies?

During the latter part of the Vietnam War the Air Force’s slogan was “Peace is our Profession” How fucking Orwellian is that?

“How to Serve Man,” anyone?

In Brighton, MA there is a futon store with the slogan “We’re cheaper than you.”

I always took offense to that, and they’re actually fairly expensive too.

On a similar note “I want to be one less”.

For the cervical cancer medication. As in “I want to take this immunization to avoid getting cancer”…but tell me it doesn’t sound like “I want to be one less woman on the planet when I drop dead from cancer”? Bizaar slogan.

Haha, I never thought of it like that.

I’ve always hated jewelry store commercials, I freely mock them whenever possible.

I’ve also always hated “what’s in your wallet” for some odd reason, no idea why.

Clearly, they serve fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Poor grammar also. It should be “one fewer.”

That is the motto of the Strategic Air Command since 1958. Cite

“Chevrolet: An American Revolution,” with the horizontal bars of the uppercase “E” in Revolution a stylized flag. Because it devalues the phrase and because it is laughable that Chevrolet would be remotely evocative of such.

No, in this case “less” is all right, and I’m super picky about it. “I want to be one less woman” sounds right to me. “I want to be one fewer woman” doesn’t.

If you are joking, consider me whooshed.

Especially when you consider the company is named after a turn-of-the-century Racing Car Driver from Switzerland named Louis Chevrolet, whose input into the company appears to have been to sign some forms and then get shunted into the background by his American partner. :wink:

My vote for “Really Bad Corporate Slogan” would be for Amazon.com’s “…And you’re done”, which has connotations (to me, at least) of getting a handjob in a dodgy massage parlour somewhere. It’s certainly not a slogan I’d associate with books, reading, or any of the other cool stuff that Amazon sells.

I hope they’ve changed it, but at one point the British postal service’s slogan was “With us, it’s personal”. That always made me kind of uncomfortable.

MidAmerican Energy’s slogan is “Obsessively, relentlessly, at your service.” This has always creeped me out. It makes me think that my natural gas supplier is a stalker.

WTF?? Why would they even do that? Do they honestly think that people base their fast food purchase choices on the perceived cultural sensitivity of the company? And, if so, why the hell would they do such a crappy job??

“Don’t bother me, I’m eating,” from Carl’s Junior, is pretty awful, too. Damn sure I won’t bother you. Listening to you slurp down that grease patty is about to make me lose my lunch.

I loved the variation on this slogan used in the film Idiocracy: “Fuck you, I’m eating.”

There used to be a local meatpacking company whose trucks bore the slogan “You can’t beat our meat.” I’m pretty sure they changed it recently.

This thread reminds me of an Italian restaurant I walked past while on holiday in China whose slogan was “Let Yours Italy Life Change More Abundant”. I had a quiet chuckle to myself over that one for hours afterwards.

Walker Tire Company: “If it’s in stock, we’ve got it!”
