Secret Cinema


 Queueing to get in to the IMAX at Waterloo recently, I found myself reading this poster advertsing their corporate business facilities.  'Crap slogan?' you say. '"The Modern Corporate Venue" seems perfectly reasonable.'

Well quite.  But look closer at the example photo of a business using their facilities for a conference:

Great Scott!

CONWAY: great people - great work
  Captured by @SloganHunter

  Yes, but what do they do?

Through our self delivery model, and combining our in-house Professional Services team with front line operational excellence, we inspect, design, build, produce, enhance and maintain essential infrastructure services for the community.

Well that's clear, then. I'm willing to bet these people aren't great at all. More than likely they're bullshit-talking tosspots.

 Another bloody pallet company.  It must be the same guy doing all their slogans, surely?

Blue Sky Bullshit

mico pac: thinking outside the box
 Slogan captured by @Falconermusic 

 This is annoying.  "Thinking outside the box" started out as management speak, just like "Going forward", "Action" as a verb, and "Incentivize".  Now, however, it's passed into ordinary day-to-day language, and Mico Pac using it as their slogan only serves to reemphasise how this impacts on our personal interfacing on a day by day basis.
