Some debates are worth having. One that always amuses me is what the tagline at Oliver Willis’ site should actually read. If for some reason you’re not aware of OW’s tagline it is, “Like Kryptonite To Stupid.”
It’s time to put all the variations that have been mentioned to a vote.
First we need to get a definitive listing of all the best variation. Nominate your favorite or make up your own in the comment section by Monday evening.
Tuesday I’ll put the 10 best taglines up for a vote.
Like Magnetite to Lipids
Like Ipecac to Cupid
One I use a lot is ‘Like Krispy Kreme to Atkins’
Still appending? Well…
Like Troglodyte to Clever
Like Hemlock to Relevance
Like Poison to Pen
Like Headache to Thought
Like Lobotomy to Brain
Like Null to One (for those thinking binary)
Like Flatulence to Breeze (PG-rated version of Fart to Wind, too harsh)
Like Waste to Space (nah, too harsh)
Like Waist to Space (nah, too unfair)
Like Black to White (nah, too racial though the comparison is like contrarian wrong to right – again with the binary)
I’ll agree with Krusty Krab (because I wrote it here on Friday) 🙂
Like smegma to a foreskin
Like “six pounds of shit” to a “five pound bag”.
Like a Screen door to a Submarine.
Stolen from “The Venture Bros.”
Like cancer to a prostate.
Like Weight Watchers to Michael Moore
Like common sense to a leftist
Like whiskey to a mormon
Like contraceptives to a catholic
Like psychotherapy to a Scientologist (obscure I know)
Like satan to jesus
Like democracy to north korea
Like rehab to Keith Richards
I’ll repeat the one I out in the last thread:
Like flypaper to stupid.
Alternately:
Like flypaper to insipid.
I know I’ve missed the deadline. But here are some more:
“Like Tampax to Cranial Blood Flow”
“Like Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Common Sense”
“Like Oliver Willis to Political Analysis”
[Sorry, Oliver. You may not be a bad guy — I don’t know — but you have earned the abuse many times over.]
Is this thing on? Hello?
Yeah, I’m late, but this one was too good to keep to myself:
“Like four race cards and a joker to a poker game.”
