Both Indiana and Fort Wayne are spending money to come up with snappy slogans in order to entice the tourists. Doubt that either one will top Australia's:
Australia launched a new A$180 million ($133 million) advertising campaign on Thursday which seeks to attract international tourists by swearing at them.
"Where the bloody hell are you?" asks the new campaign launched by Australian Tourism Minister Fran Bailey.
Bailey said the campaign will target potential tourists in China, Japan, India, the United States, Germany and Britain and would be rolled out in the next few weeks.
Australia's last highly successful tourist magnet was the "throw another shrimp on the barbie" campaign. So, what do you think? Throw another meatloaf in the microwave? Or, Why the ---- do you keep driving around us?

For Fort Wayne it might be something like this:
How the bloody hell did you get so fat and stupid?
I still cannot believe that we are wasting taxpayer dollars on hiring ANOTHER outside consultant for a project.
You cannot tell me that a local firm could not handle this for Fort Wayne?
Just another "task force" to plunder the pockets of the perplexed populace, me thinks. Time, as well as money could be better spent elsewhere.
If you want "snappy slogans", how about:
INDIANA: Knowuhimsayin?
INDIANA: Our gas costs more than YOURS.
INDIANA: The Methlab State
INDIANA: It's Not Just For Idiots Anymore.
INDIANA: Better Than Ever...In Your Dreams!
INDIANA: Come Watch Us Do Something DUMB!
INDIANA: Less Altitude...More Attitude.
INDIANA: At Least We're Not a "Buckeye", Right?
Or maybe for Fort Wayne.....
FORT WAYNE: Meth, Pot, Crack...What's There NOT to Like?
FORT WAYNE: It Could Be Worse, But Not By Much.
FORT WAYNE: The Right Choice...for the Wrong People.
FORT WAYNE: The Boomcar Capital.
FORT WAYNE: Where "Hoosier Daddy" Takes On a Whole New Meaning.
FORT WAYNE: You want a WHAT??? A JOB????
FORT WAYNE: Home of Property Tax Increases.
Just some ideas to toss about (with tongue firmly in cheek) and it didn't cost ANY taxpayer ONE red cent...so there!
