First off, staying on the topic of the Karate Kid, here are two of my strangest work moments last year at the big phone company. Both of these made me go, "And they're paying me to do this?"
1) While sitting in a department meeting listening to a discussion on branding I watched a Hillary Duff music video
2) In a coaching seminar to illustrate various coaching methods we were shown the last five minutes of The Karate Kid. I had to use every bit of strength not to yell out, "Get him a body bag. Yeah!"
Ok, it's late so I'm going to borrow from someone else's blog for the rest of this post. Kansas recently spent a lot of money on consultants for a new state slogan. Which turns out to be "Kansas, as big as you think". Innuendo aside, that must be the strangest state slogan ever. But thanks to Tony's Kansas City (and the Pitch) we've been able to unearth the top ten rejected slogans for the great state of Kansas. Enjoy.
10) Kansas: What's with all the Mexicans around here lately?
9) Kansas, as boring as you think.
8) Fuck Arkansas
7) Kansas: Asses bigger than you'd think
6) Kansas: Beats jail
5) Kansas: The place you pee on the way to Colorado
4) Seriously, our state is nothing like that shitty '70's band
3) Kansas: We won't think twice about building another mall
2) Come to Kansas: The place interesting people leave and go on to do great things
1) Kansas: We'll get you one way or another ... and your little dog too!
(Ok I promise. Next week will be free of Kansas bashing)

Although this applies more to the school/b-ball team and not the state, this is one of my personal favorite Kansas slogans:
S*CK C*CK, JAY-HAWK, F*CK YOU.
