New Slogans
Back when I did a stint in retail I had to deal with deliveries all the time. UPS and FedEx made almost daily visits to our little store and generally could be counted on to be professional, polite, efficient and have a fairly well organized truck.
Then one day we got a DHL delivery. Wow, it was a guy in jeans and a t-shirt who seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but in our store. Then he asked me to help him bring some of the boxes from his van (which I was more than happy to do). We go out to the van and it's strewn with boxes with no attempt at organization. As he went looking for our merchandise he literally tossed the other boxes around in his search. This led me to develop a new slogan for the company.
DHL - "saving you money through rampant unprofessionalism"
So what about you guys... any good slogans you've come up with for companies that have left a bad taste in your mouth?

AT&T - " It's okay, we're not listening, really."
AT&T Customer Service - " We're not listening, really."
I know you want slogans we have created on a companies behalf, but what if the company has already done it to itself:
Case in point. Fluke Transportation group: http://www.fluke.ca/
Their official slogan: "If it's on time, it's a fluke".
I double-take every time I see one of their delivery trucks. What were they thinking?
It's a Canadian company. They can have a sense of humor, since capitalism isn't rampantly out of control up there, and marketing departments just provide suggestions instead of the gospel truth.

I think it applies in many other card sending holidays.
I should get points for admitting he's my brother...

That's pretty funny. They have a sense of humor, I suppose.

Many know my disdain (though that may be putting it too lightly) for my former place of employment, so I've made two for them (one for their former slogan, and one for the new one). Voila:
Walmart - Always poor ethics. Always.
Walmart - Save Money. Live Better. But Only If You're Already Rich. Otherwise Suck It.
"I'm absolutely retarded. Not 100% sure why." - atom
"Dhelor + intarwebs = Great ideas." - wordsmythe
"Do I what I do: hate everyone." - Quintin_Stone
Walmart - Calling blatant shoplifting shrinkage....forever.
