It has no more of a double meaning then if I were to start a lottery with the slogan "Win ever you like."

You have grounds to sue the public school system.

Okay, so how am I wrong? At least I tried to explain why it doesn't make sense to me.

It's just not proper English. They could include the word "In" before the slogan and it would make better sense, although they'd lose the "double meaning" of the word "always."

Just to make sure I'm understanding it in the same way you are - they're trying to say that sex is on the mind in all ways possible, right?

Just reply with a straight answer. It's all I ask.

"All ways" in that logo is a total fuck up.



No, the ' is nowhere between the t and s key. That is a grammar error. Points off bitch.

Young 08-07-2007 09:24 PM

This two page thread is the very reason that the slogan SUCKS no matter how clever they think it is.

Clever or not most surfers are going to pass it off as bad English.

"All your base are belong to us"

Because it is not the same as saying "Every ways in your brain." because that just wouldn't make sense.

"Win ever you like." is not even close to being the same thing. Win and when don't even sound alike unless you are ESL or slur your words.

Did they ever hear of the word "always"????

Damn, I now feel very sorry for school teachers and the shit they had to read when correcting students papers.

And no, this is not a "play on words".

If they were so good in learning they could have been Engineers or Doctors but not adult webmasters :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Oh I see. I forget the differences in dialect. Most people around here pronounce "when" and "win" usually the same way.

I don't normally carry that dialect, but I've started hearing it the same way in my head. I know it wasn't the best example/mockery.

In all my years of English, literature, & journalism classes I've never heard of any rule that would make that proper. I don't think we're gonna agree here but I do appreciate your reply. Agree to disagree?

I'm mildly confused....

when i go to sex.com I see this....

THE SHITTIEST PARKING PAGE i'VE EVER SEEN

http://transsexuals.co.nz/myspace/sexcom.jpg

I honestly think whoever bought that domain for $14m or whatever it was must have some serious mental health issues if that's the best thing they can think of to do with it.....

Can't wait to see their new advertising campaign....

Looking for a cheap hotel in New York, South Beach or Miami?

Check out Sex.com!

International traffic is parsed out to a seperate parking page which is why you are seeing a different page.

Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification, asshole.

c-lo 08-08-2007 03:11 PM

Well now that I think of the word "way" meaning "method", it does make more sense to me. So I guess I take back what I said before. I still think most would assume it as error, though.

I'm done. Maybe this thread will finally die away - I'm sure Wonder Woman is about tired of it.

P.S. Right or wrong I did laugh at the 'Engrish' thing from rhizome, so thanks for the laugh, guy.

later

Just looked at the site... not a good slogan IMO - they need to order some pizzas, call a meeting, pack a bowl and get brainstorming

I have had to deal with dialect issues when having podcasts done, so I can understand.

Sure, but it appears you have subsequently seen the light.

Semi-Retired-Dave 08-09-2007 04:34 PM

Come on guys..Really.
Do you really think a company the size of Sex.com and nobody would realize that.

You know the meant "All Ways on your mind". Now that's creative branding. Look at how many of you are talking about it. Now you will tell your friends to go check it out, and that is more traffic for them. And if CyberAge was still on there, that would have been more traffic for me.

The power of branding, you got to love it.

KingK7 08-09-2007 04:52 PM

congrats to all the winners!

Here's a new slogan for cyberage-dave:

"All Ways Brown Nosing 4 traffic".

Well, I did have that domain exclusively for 3 months and most of it went to our Webmasters, so whatever I am doing. It worked. :thumbsup:1orglaugh

All Ways thinking of business. :thumbsup

Semi-Retired-Dave 08-09-2007 04:59 PM

After 12 years, you All Ways need to be one step ahead in this Biz.
