Slogans You May Not Hear
Call me cynical, say I’m in a snarky frame of mind. Whatever. I was just thinking about the controversy over the use of Tasers in the news, and thinking that the Taser Corporation might be due for some good PR pretty soon. Maybe people who love their Tasers will form a lobby, like those who love their guns. I’m inclined to suggest a good slogan for the Taser Lobby’s inevitable bumper-sticker campaign, something like “Tasers don’t kill people. Cops kill people.” But again, maybe it’s just my frame of mind or offbeat sense of humour.

And all of this is what's supposed to motivate the staff to provide the best customer service in the industry.
