Apparently Dr. Pepper has a new, low-calorie drink called "Dr. Pepper TEN". The slogan?


Great job marketing team.
This right here. I don't know who would have given them money for an idea that stupid and offensive! As bad as that one is though, it doesn't bother me nearly as badly as this commercial:


It's so fucking smug! It makes me proud to not have an iPhone or any manner of i-product.

Hmmm, all the ones I was going to mention were already taken.

However, the otherwise good manga Future Diary has the unintentionally hilarious 'Every text could be your last' tagline in the English translations which is both ridiculous and inaccurate.

Ah, I remember that one. That one went right up there next to "You and your Johnson" which was a boat.
And the Tiddy Bear
"That's T-I-D-D-Y Bear!" Oh, it's spelled like *that*, I guess that means I'm supposed to stop giggling.

Ugh, things like this are why I refuse to get an iphone. There's an old Penny Arcade that about sums it up for me.


Inb4attacks, I know that, by a wide margin, this does not represent all of Apple's customer or fanbase. It's just what the more vocal of them bring to mind.

(And the majority of us being nice, respectable gamers/nerds, we know what it's like to be lumped in with the vocal minority).

Helpful stuff I've snipped.
Uh, then what? How can you embed a video in-between image tags? I've done as you've said, and now I'm stuck with lines that just read "image", where the videos should be.

*sighs* BBCode works fine in most cases, but this is one where I really wish the board either supported HTML code in text boxes or came with a WYSIWYG editor.

Oh, wait, you're doing videos?

I am a derp.

Quote my comment (the actual quote button, just to clarify), to see how I did it. As far as I know it only works for youtube videos. Video unrelated to topic:

<youtube=5OMFiqNA6Ag>

So you basically just find the vid you want, and take the number/letter sequence at the end, then put it in the tags you'll find when you quote me.

Fixed! Thanks for the clarification, dude! Now I'll start leaving text-less replies that will only consist of YouTube videos, like all the kewl kids, yo. And I'll get suspended for low-content posts in the process.

Yo.

Probably the dead space 2 one.

either:

1) you still need your mom to buy you games and now theres no way you're gonna convince her of that

or

2) you can buy it without your mom, so who cares what she thinks.

Earthbound! It Stinks!

Im not even kidding, this was nintendos marketing slogan for THEIR OWN GAME.
It takes Balls (And a worrying amount of stupidity) to make the slogan for your game It Stinks!
That one works though, Earthbound is a very quirky game, and that advert would definetaly illustrate that well.

Mainly its beauty product slogans that annoy me but especially Garnier's "Take Care". Always sounds like a veiled threat to my paranoid mind.

And on that note.

"Do you have the courage to face your destiny?" FFXIII

What a horrible line, indicative of a strongly intellectually limited writer. If its destiny, it takes no courage. And it hardly means anything to a gamer, destiny means you have no choice and games are all about interactive choices.
