We here at TV WORTH WATCHING are so close to launching the next version of our website that it's time to reach out, and start asking for help.
If there's one thing we've learned here, it's that most of our readers are the equal of most of our writers (just enough wiggle room there, I hope, to avoid offending anyone). So we want to tap your brains, and ask your help -- in coming up with some new slogans for TV WORTH WATCHING...
We're thinking of the kinds of things that could rotate in our new masthead, and perhaps even adorn a tee shirt or coffee mug or two. (That's right! TVWW is going into Merchandise! One clear sign of the impending apocalypse!)
Samples are shown above and at right, to give you a feel for what we're seeking. For the slogans, not the apocalypse.
Be the first person to send in what amounts to a "winning" entry -- an entry we decide to use on the site -- and we'll send something cheap and insignificant. But I'm behind, already, on the delivery of two such promised prizes, so patience, in this case, is not just a virtue, but a necessity.
But if you want to help us come up with some fun slogans, even if just for the fun of it, we could really use the help.
In case of similar entries -- in case we really do award some sort of thank-you gift -- the one posted and dated first will be crowned the winner.
Have fun. Just don't send the same ones as shown in the samples above and at right. We claim those already.
And here's another one, for the road:
57 Channels and Something's On...
Now it's your turn!
Oh -- and since we're expanding, and becoming a bigger-time operation, we feel the need -- legally if not morally -- to make it clear that, except for perhaps a key chain or mug or something, no compensation will be given, now or at any later date, for the submitted slogans.
All submissions become property of TV Worth Watching. Entrants hereby grant TV Worth Watching irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide rights to use submitted slogans on the website, on merchandise and in marketing and promotional materials.
I know that sounds awful -- but hey. I just signed and returned a Hollywood contract for the option to my Smothers Brothers book, and it was 51 pages long. And on page one, it declared rights "for the entire universe."
So we don't want to scare you off with any legalese, or hint that we're expecting to retire off proceeds from any TVWW slogan. We're just, in a way, protecting our universal behinds...
