9. Those are horrible commercials!
They're trying to get poor black kids to be as fat as poor white kids. The sad thing is that the ad campaign is working.

8. Kansas: The Land of Ahhhs..
Get it.. Ahhhs = Oz. Easily the worst ever. There are no "ahhh"'s in Kansas.

10. The worst ever was during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics - Nike:
You don't win silver, you lose gold.

Great coming from a bunch of ad execs who have probably
never even come close to becoming an Olympian. That was just ridiculously horrible.

I'd have given just about anything to have been able to call myself and Olympian.

18. that is pretty pathetic
just like the talking-head talk during the finals. Somebody comes up short for a gold, and they act like someone just died.

I don't mind that slogan. Any slogan read by Sam Elliott is music to my ears.

28. Microsoft's NPR slogan:
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 10:30 AM by Richardo
"Your potential inspires us to create software to help you reach it."


Great! It's both patronizing AND grammatically awkward! :wtf:
