Would like to thank all of you that voted for Don't Mess With Texas in the advertising poll..'cause we won...over 400,000 votes...mostly people that messed with Texas and got their asses canned...like David Crosby and Ozzie Osbourne.This was for the Adv
ertising Week's 2006 Walk of Fame contest.The "Don't Mess With Texas campaign began 20 years ago to combat roadside liter and its pickup cost.. Our slogan beat out 25 other well-known slogans including 'Just Do It'by Nike, the California Milk Processors Board's 'Got Milk'and 'Have It Your Way
'by Burger King.It also beat out Campbell's Soup's 'M'M M'M Good,'Dunkin Donuts 'It's Time To Make The Donut's,'and Wheaties'Breakfast Of Campions.'To celebrate our big win, "Don't Mess With Texas" victory banners lined New York's Madison Avenue on Friday, and the slogan will receive permanent recognition in the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City, Mo., which opens in spring of 2008.
See, you guys...it's not just me you don't wanna mess with...it's the entire state.Something the Tennessee Titan's and the Miami Dolphin's found out today too..at scores of 45-14(Dalla )and 17-15 (Houston)...Ahhhhh life is good...
Ya'll come down and see us..ya'hea?
But don't fucking liter..
I would never dream of littering in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI never knew the origin of the slogan....now I feel much smarter.
ReplyDeleteBlogmad hit!

Let's see Dallas won, the Gump is still President and people are suprised that a member of Congress likes underage kids.

I thought it was "Don't mess with Jackie Sue".......
ReplyDeleteYa think maybe it has to do with the fact the people can carry guns down there legally???
ReplyDeleteExcellent slogan! What pisses me off is when I see parents littering in front of their kids! In any state or country it's just gross.
ReplyDeleteThe only Texan I know who I wouldn't mind pissing off is Bush, but he isn't really from Texas, right? Do Texans who know they are real Texans really think of Bush as a Texan? Anyway, I always thought the guy was from Maine.
ReplyDeleteIt was also a good day for the TT Red Raiders with a last minute win over the freaking Aggies. Woo Hoo. Gotta luv Texas Football. But what the fuck is with Texas playing Sam Houston State. Talk about a hollow victory.
ReplyDeleteshane:..is you spam?
ReplyDeletejunebugg: well that is supposed to be just understood.
ol lady: legally and illegally..plus the kids are crack shots too from hunting all their life.
sue: one of the first things i taught my kids..dont liter...
snave:nope bush is not a texan..he was born in Conn. and was only here as a kid and then went to yali where he was such a dofus, he couldnt play sports so he was a 'fucking cheerleader'..actually we real texans have an expression for people like bush...'all hat and no cattle'..
fuzz:whoo hooo i love ttec..i have been following their quarterback since he was in high school at ennis..baylor won too..so it was a great weekend..
Surfing through passing out Cheer. Its's click and comment Monday.

babs: oh i always loved those ads...dont know why..just liked the idea of all those different texans telling folks not to fuck with us..ha
ReplyDeleteahh, we cant hep it if they dumb...
lilfeatheres2000:im biting my tongue here..but will take the high road...thanks for the cheer and the blessing...(we don't need no stinking cheer..) sorry ..im evil..

ReplyDeletebecause those mexicans seem to be messing with texas.
I love the guy's t-shirt! I can't wait to visit!
ReplyDeleteRUBY ROCKS:que no fuck with texas..????

Did it beat it the most famous slogan in Blogville? "Don't mess with Jackie Sue, unless you want to be blue; let me give you a tip, she has the power to big..."
ReplyDeleteOOPS-- power to BIP!!! Not big!!!
ReplyDeleteMost people who messed with Texas got their asses canned, LOL! I'm glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read that, LOL!
