Not just any stupid slogan

[nineveh_uk]

Do marketing people have a gene that makes them incapable of appreciating how the rest of the population is likely to react to a slogan?

Somehow I can’t help feeling that the Marks and Spencer Simply Fuller Longer food range is not long for this world.

ETA: There is even an advert in the M&S perv voice.

Oh no... Or could it be a really cunning attempt to garner viral publicity?

I am reliably told that the City University of Newcastle (or maybe Northumbria) got quite away into a big rebranding exercise before noticing something about their initials...

Could be viral publicity, but it would be absolutely the wrong brand to do it for if it got out that it was on purpose, I think.

before noticing something about their initials...

Whoops...

Talking about whoops, it was definitely Newcastle upon Tyne, in the acronym. Brain fail.
