Time running out to vote for Corps slogan

[CommunityEditor]

Leathernecks have until Monday to vote in an Internet poll to immortalize the Marine Corps’ recruiting slogan, “The Few, The Proud, The Marines,” in a spot on the advertising industry’s version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in New York City.

The Corps is vying for one of two spots on the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame, which consists of a plaque on a sidewalk between 49th and 50th streets in Manhattan, in a contest that includes the slogans for companies such as MTV, Taco Bell and the National Crime Prevention Authority.

The winners will be announced Sept. 26 as part of Advertising Week 2007, an advertising industry convention.

Wait, maybe I don't get it...
So there is a public poll to see who's slogan (USMC, Taco Bell, etc) will get a spot on the advertising walk of fame or whatever it's called?

This just seems odd...
so anyone can vote for their favorite slogan?

What's not to get?

Yes, anyone can vote for any of the nominated slogans...see the article...there is a link to the website.

It's pretty simple really...sort of like voting for the new 7 wonders of the world :-)

Update: Corps slogan takes out the competition (http://www.militarytimes.com/news/20...slogan_070926/)


The Marine Corps’ legendary recruiting pitch, “The Few, The Proud, The Marines,” defeated such famous ad slogans as “Just Do It,” “Have It Your Way,” “Take a Bite Out of Crime” and “Think Outside the Bun” for a spot on the advertising industry’s Walk of Fame in New York City.

This year’s two winning slogans — the other is Southwest Airlines’ “Ding! You are now free to move about the country” — were announced Wednesday as part of Advertising Week 2007, an advertising industry convention in New York City. The Corps beat out a number of companies and agencies in a nationwide Internet poll for the honor, including Nike, Burger King, the National Crime Prevention Authority and Taco Bell.
