CONTEST!

The Disgruntled Bear Slogan Contest is now open, and here it is!

To Enter:
Come up with an item (real/imagined/unmarketable abstract concept/whatever) and a funny slogan for it. Post it in the comments section below by midnight (EDT) Thursday, June 30th. Enter as many times as you like.

The Winners:
First Prize will be go to the person who makes me do a coffee spit-take.
Honorable Mentions will go to the people who make me laugh out loud.

The Prizes:
First Prize is a SWAG pack of Spencer Hill Press stuff--at least two books (maybe ARCs), bookmarks, guitar picks, rack cards, and a nifty SHP tote bag (shipped to a US address) AND... your slogan printed out at 8.5x11"and HAND-DECORATED with original artwork done by Yours Truly, i.e., me (suitable for framing!).

Honorable mentions will receive a business-envelope-sized SWAG pack (cards, bookmarks, stickers, guitar pick, etc.) and an itty bitty printout of their slogan with a one-of-a-kind doodle. I'll ship these anywhere in the world.

So, what kinds of slogans am I looking for? Funny. Random. Entertaining. Insightful. Risqué is fine, but please don't post anything overtly raunchy.


Try Apathy: you won't be disappointed. 

Unicorn--the Other White Meat.* 
*ThinkGeek got a cease-and-desist letter from the Pork Council for this one. 

I'll post the winners July 1st, along with a link so the winners can send me their mailing addresses.

Unicorn--the other white meat. ROFL. How am I supposed to top that? Sooo, the slogan doesn't have to be bear themed?

Eliza, it can be any theme you want. Thanks for asking!

To save the planet and lower your electricity bill, don't turn on the lights. Use your shins to find furniture in the dark!
