Poorly thought out slogans
Having inadvertantly sparked off a battle in me Hollywood thread, I've decided to start this one for some light relief.

Here is a slogan I saw on a van this morning on my way into Nottingham.
It is show EXACTLY as it was written - the bit in capitals is the name of the business:


You can if you're...
COX LONG!


I mean, dear god almighty, the only thing that nearly saves it is the correct use of "you're" (rather than "your" which would be funnier).

So, has anyone else spotted similarly badly planned company taglines?

Have you considered the possibility that such slogans are deliberate double entendres?

Anyone remember a cough sweet called a Zube? with the ad campaign "Feeling Hoarse? ... Go Suck a Zube"

The campaign was so successful in the UK they tried it worldwide. Unfortunately , "Zube" is Arabic for "Penis" ..... and nobody told them before the billboards went up.
