I was bumming around on hulu last night, and this struck me as really, really funny.
For those unfamiliar with hulu: first of all, where have you been? Second of all: hulu videos are sponsored by advertisers. Before your hulu video starts playing, a man with a deep, radio-like voice says, "The following program is brought to you by [company]: [company's slogan]."
Last night, the announcer said: "The following program is brought to you by Toyota: Moving Forward."
I laughed hysterically. What a slogan fail! Toyota: Moving forward...uncontrollably! Moving forward...inexplicably! Moving forward...at deadly speeds! Moving forward...whether you want to or not!
Am I the only one who finds this funny? (Dad, I bet you're with me!)
haha. seriously, what were they thinking? Probably the same marketing team that came up with "i-pad".
ReplyDeleteI would still buy both. ;)
You're a nerd, but I still love you anyway. I think it's funny too though! :-)
ReplyDeleteha! I never thought of it like that, but very, very true. I guess, "Toyota: Coming to a controlled stop" doesn't have the same ring, though it may be more accurate.
ReplyDelete(Accurate in that the company is slowing down on sales, that is)
ReplyDeleteI find it hysterically funny - but I do drive a Toyota. Hmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteYou win the bet! I am with you all the way! LOL
