    Don't Mess With Texas

    From an email from a relative.
    Even if you vote incorrently, it's pretty interesting.

    MING! Pay attention, son.

    IF YOU ARE A TEXAN BY BIRTH OR A TEXAN BY HEART......

    The Texas Highway Department's anti-litter slogan "Don't Mess With Texas" has been nominated for a very prestigious advertising award. If it were to win, a Bronze Plaque would be placed on Madison Avenue's "Advertising Walk of Fame" in New York City and would also get a permanent place at the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City .

    Please go to the Advertising Week Favorite Slogan's Website http://advertising.yahoo.com/adverti...ogan_poll.html and vote!

    The competition is tough, like "Got Milk? "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"; "The breakfast of Champions"; and others; so please vote before September 29, 2006 and tell your fellow Texans to do likewise.

    Wouldn't it be cool for New Yorkers to have to walk past a Bronze Plaque every day that said, "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS"?

    P.S. Please pass this on to all of your Texas friends!! This is a matter of "Texas Pride"! We can win this if everybody forwards the link to their friends, and they vote. Do it now.

      Just out of curiousity, does anyone -- outside of the Oklahoma Sooners -- even try to mess with Texas??

        Sloww... I have to admit that there are some of the most classic slogans ever produced in this contest... and I happen to like quite a few of them far more than your choice... But I voted for it anyway, because I agree... make the New Yorkers walk by it every day

        Remember folks... vote early and vote often!

          Don't worry, if such a plaque comes to NYC we will cheerfully ignore it just as we ignore Texans here

          And if it is a "walk of fame", then that means we will cheerfully step all over it with pleasure every day.

              These aren't all "new" slogans. There's a wide range in time and products.


              I wasn't going to say anything. Was going to just let it pass; BUT, please vote for Texas, and think of GePap. See how they are?


              Edit: Forgot to say thanks to Ming, and to any and all that may follow. Thanks for the vote.

                            The only thing better would be to have such a slogan up here.

                              now if there was a slogan for New York, it ought to be **** you!

                              I recall being in New York a few years ago and seeing shirts being sold that had 3-inch block print letters: "New York ****ing City".

                              Friend of mine actually bought one and wore it around the city. Most responses were positive, in the line of "**** yeah!"
