You need to get it registered as a trademark.

 

Good call, but i imagine that trademarks cost a good bit don't they?

It really wouldn't hurt my feelings if chevy decided to use that slogan, just give me a plaque or certificate or something so people will beleive me.

Oh yea and a little discount on a V8 5th gen would be nice too.

 

The trademark itself is not expensive (I think it might even be free). You just have to pay a lawyer to do the legwork. So if you are good friends with a lawyer, you might be able to pull something off on the cheap...

 

Actually my neighbor is an attorney.....

The only problem I foresee is that i would be trademarking a slogan that already included the trademarked name "Camaro".

 

True, Talk to him though, He may even do it for free.

 

"Because every revolution needs a hero" does not contain the word "Camaro". Trademark away.

 

Camaro:
We got a nose job

 

Canadian, sorry, can't be president, but thanks. I think this thread and the collective ideas shared here gives us a bit of an idea in regards to ads we could potentially see, especially since we know Scott (and probably other GM insiders) have read the possibilities here.

As for slogans, unfortunately things have to be PC for the masses. As much as some of us chant it, GM can't go outright and scream "Mustang SUCKS!" and they cannot slander their competitors. Slander and libel are against the law and it's poor sportsmanship. "Faster than wild horses and will take on any challenger" is borderline but it doesn't call them down in any way so it could work.

As well, we need to keep the uninformed interested. Things like "pwned" may be applicable to the internet savy, however for the computer illiterate 30 something couple looking to retain their youth and still have room for kids, the presentation needs to pertain to them as well.

I know many of us would love to see slogans we've come up with being chanted by the masses and I'll be the first to applaud the creativity we all have, however we need to keep these things in mind.

But anyhow... Let's hear some more!

 

What DOES 'pwned' mean anyway!?!?!? Other than apparently meaning 'owned' I don't get why it has a 'p' instead of an 'o'.

Thanks for the explanation...

Tad bit silly, but at least I get it now. lol

 

Wikipedia didn't mention this, but i think it also was coined when people repeatedly mistyped "owned" by accidentally hitting the "P" key which is right next to the "O" key.

Ya know, kind of like "teh" or "****"

 

Did wikipedia make mention of the video game script error that got it all started? I dont remember which game, but when you defeated the bad guy "Owned" was supposed to show on the screen but instead it was misspelled as "pwned"

 

Lol, really? I'm an avid gamer but have never heard that before. Its entirely possible though with some of the crap thats hitting shelves nowadays.
