I just remembered one I like:
Nonghyup Bank:

Human Bank. Human Life.

And of course, they have a little alien for their mascot. Methinks they doth protest too much.

Either way, someone's gonna get screwed.

There used to be franchise (don't see it anywhere these days) called "Donkey Chicken."

Dunno who came up with that or why, and I dunno how it tasted cuz I wuz just too scared to go near it ...


Is that the same place as the Donkey Fried Chicken? Can't remember. DFC just doesn't make any sense. Are you getting donkey, chicken or some kind of donkey/chicken fushion deal. Regardless, your're right. Too scary to find out.

A poster near my home advertising a student art exhibition used the Beatles Let it Be album cover as a backdrop and used the slogan, "Let it Art!" They thought it was so clever they used it again later for Let it Art 2.


Repeat after me........ Let Art Be...... Let Art Be.......

I've just seen another one for KTF, the "have a good time" company.

"Enjoy your everyday"

I believe it doesn't actually replace "Have a good time!", but directly precedes that slogan.

"be the challenger" forget what brand of cigarettes it is on. Someone tell me what the hell that is supposed to mean.

Mr. Pizza's slogan "for a woman" always makes me laugh when I walk by or see a delivery driver on his scooter.

Had the woman in my life expain that one to me. Mr pizza is "for a woman," because the woman doesn't have to cook if she orders one or carries it home. Very simple, really, when you look at it that way ...

You are right, of course, and I forgot that,and by mispelling it, don't they also transofrm it into some other species? I've always hoped so, anyway ...

But that one is actujally completely true. I've never been, nor met anyone who was ever, sad while riding a bicycle.
