I don´t think they get it.

So there´s this brand of diet frozen meals called Michelina´s Lean Gourmet.  Remember when we blogged about malamanteaus?  Here´s the link.
I think Michelina´s is trying to make some malamanteaus on the insides of their cardboard boxes, but... I don´t think they get it.  I don´t think they get how these are supposed to work.

Here are some good malamanteaus:

  • spork
  • skort
  • Brangelina
  • blog
  • liger
  • muppet
  • smog
  • televangelist
  • WiFi


Here are some bad ones:


    

I will continue to post these as I find them, because they´re terrible.
The meals are delicious and cheap; their advertising... is low budget.

I tell people that I speak american and not english and they agree right away but do they think about it? What a culture we live in where everything has to be shrunk down to meet the attention of span of soundbites but soon that won't be good enough. A little lite reading for the mind, haha. Readers Digest still sells amazingly well.

Thankgah for Readers Digest, huh? Well, language generally evolves in the direction of efficiency and simplification, but I´m too much of a romantic to really embrace efficiency so fully--linguistic or otherwise.
