JULIA SPENCER-FLEMING: Yesterday on the Twitter machine, DiGiorno's Pizza innocently put up a tweet (or deliberately stirred the pot, depending on how savvy you think their social media guys are) asking the world to "Give us a new slogan." Some of the answers were inspired:
I encourage you all to search for the company's name take a look at the creative genius on display, including several with terms we've decided not to publish here on Jungle Reds.
It got me thinking, as these things do, about the ways we might update other famous slogans to make them more realistic.
Nike: Just get up, put on your exercise clothes, let the dog out, feed the dog and cats, answer a few emails and then Do It.
Maxwell House: If you're really desperate, you can shovel it in by the spoonful.
Mastercard: There are some things money can't buy. Unless you're Jeff Bezos.
Hallmark: When you care enough, but also want to avoid a three-hour phone call.
State Farm: Like a good neighbor, State Farm is returning the bill that got into their mailbox accidentally and casually joking, "Hey, Jerry, that lawn's getting wilder than my hair in 1968!"
United Airlines: Fly the Friendly Skies. Or make the thirteen hour drive to Poughkeepsie. It's your choice, really.
Las Vegas: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for the fifty-nine photos Jerry insists on putting up on "The Facebook."
Okay, dear readers, what do you think? And tell me what corporate slogans you think need updating for today's world!
