Starbound 150 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 So I was watching TV and there was this add for some kind of lawnmowing company and you know what their slogan was? "We make Tall Grass Short!" *sigh* Yeah. Points for creativity there, guys. Anyways, post and we shall see the most idiotic sounding slogan ever CREATED! Big thanks to the universe for giving me such awesome inspiration! (And pictures!) Those harmless swirly clouds Americans call tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Floaty 1,334 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 I don't know about slogans, but as far as product names, the Wii has always baffled me. Yes, I know that in Japan it does not evoke the same reaction, but they don't have a single English-speaking person on their board of directors or the creation/advertising team? Not one person who could stop and say, "Uh, guys, you know, in English-speaking countries, which are a huge percentage of our market, this name is going to be the butt of a lot of juvenile jokes. And given that the controller makes you look like you're masturbating unless it is in full view, maybe we should think about naming it something else?" 1 Signature created by Champion RD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaasonsan 3,205 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 That slogan is kind of ingenious in a weird way. It is a weird combination of succinctness and stupid that makes it nearly impossible to forget. After hearing it would be pretty hard to not think of them immediately after looking out at your yard and thinking "the grass is too tall". 1 Application REJECTED!

Japanese advertising is actually obsessed with including English to give a more worldly feel to things. 'Wii' is also not actually a Japanese word, it would in fact be nearly impossible to spell with their syllabary. As such, my guess is that it is actually an intentionally misspelled version of the English word "we" to evoke a sense of togetherness and socializing. Application REJECTED!

I know it's not a Japanese word, all I'm saying is that you would think at least one person in the entire process from idea to implementation would stop and think about it at some point.

Dark Qiviut 22,378 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 HeadOn's headline, "Apply directly to the forehead," was also a slogan.

A Blithering Div 247 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 "we buy and sell cars" for a car dealership. I could have sworn they specialized in air conditioners, but good thing they got that slogan otherwise I would have been lead astray. I can neither confirm nor deny myself being the cause of electrical related malfunctions. Anyways, you wouldn't happen to have a jar of replacement magic smoke would you?

cuteycindyhoney 13,306 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 In my metro area. (Market area? Whatever) There is a car dealership with a slogan I have HATED for years. It makes no sense!
