Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. On alternate Mondays, we’ll lay out a challenge and offer a sample responses. Enter in the comments section, or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.
COMPETITION NO. 19: GOOD TAGLINE, WRONG PRODUCT. Please offer an ill-suited advertising slogan. For example:
“Guess What Day It Is!” —Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel
“Giant Blowout Sale!” —Firestone Tires
“We Try Harder.” —Cialis
Enter on Twitter with the hashtag #goodtaglinewrongproduct, or in the comments thread below, by April 16.
