morning cup of funny


Good morning. I would like to share with you this, which has made me laugh before 10:00 a.m.:

The Ad Generator

When I used it, I got catchy slogans like:
“Smile less” and “It’s everywhere you say to make.”

Thanks to LGM for pointing me this way. (John says I should say hat tip. But it’s a new term for me. So I should practice using it in a sentence first. As in “John told me I should say hat tip.”)

I’d also like to point out that this looks to be a case of Computational Linguistics in action, and used for good (and not evil). It probably uses some sort of n-grams and conditional probabilities. (And also photos from Flickr.)

The generated slogans also remind me of things you might fight with Engrish text. (Another fun website. You must check it out. It’s everywhere you say you make.)

  1. I think the following slogans are great, and I’m trying to come up with the right product/company for each of them:

    “Expect safety. Get less.”
    “It’s everywhere you lick to taste.”
    “Behold the innovation of milk.”

  2. jwbates-
    Any progress with the product development? I’m thinking 1) seat belts, 2) salt and 3) cows. (I envision the cows wearing the slogan somehow.)
