The random shit that goes through my head.
I should probably get a real wesbsite at some point. In the meantime, you can also find me at The Awl, Free Williamsburg, or on Twitter. You can also email me at erica (dot) sackin (at) gmail (dot) com.
I should probably also add that the views, opinions, photos, comments, quotes, videos and even soundbites that are expressed, shared or otherwise posted on this site are mine and mine alone. They have nothing to do with my employer, or anyone else that might send me a paycheck. Great schwag, however, will continue to be graciously accepted. Thanks!.
A friend tipped me off to this site today, which allows you to randomly generate semi-generic ad slogans around whatever word you plug into the web site. Being the ever-politically minded activist, I decided to see what it came up with when I plugged in the word abortion. The results? Kind of amazing. Screengrabs posted below, because of a peculiarity of Tumblr I have no idea how to include them in all one post…
This one could actually work as a planned parenthood slogan or something, if they didn’t have to worry about being firebombed for making it that obvious..
Ugh, this would actually work better as an anti-choice slogan, although it doesn’t *really* make senst. Note the ad for John McCain in the middle though (um, except the picture looks nothing like John McCain). This didn’t show up for any of the others — meaning maybe he took out a very, very small advertising buy for the word abortion?
It’s amazing what genius a randomly generated slogal web site can come up with. Like that monkeys/typewriters/greatest novel thing.
and perhaps the truest slogan it’s come up with yet. I swear, I might use some of these.
