Trying not to put all their advertising dollars in one basket, CBS recently announced that they will be kicking off an ad campaign where they laser slogans on eggs to be sold in grocery stores. I'm not sure if this relates in any way to the upcoming debut of Katie Cour-egg as the chief hen of the evening news, but this seems like a pretty silly idea. Sure, I'd understand if Faux News were to do a product tie-in with bologna, or if the Sci-Fi Channel were to give away pocket protectors, but I don't eggsactly get this scrambled concept. I'm certainly not eggcited about it.

The ones announced sure sound like winners that will have me running for the remote...NOT: "CSI: Crack the Case on CBS....New Grade-A CBS Comedy....CBS Mondays: Leave the Yolks to us". A few more suggested slogans from a recent FARK comments thread to supplement those already announced:

We could make this egg travel through a garden hose, that's how much we suck.

We're almost eggstinct!

Because advertising on human zygotes is beneath us!

Your grandma needs something to watch too

We'll egg your house till you start watching.

Our shows are like these eggs, we just crap them out.

Lower your eggspectations!

Ovoid us like salmonella.

We don't just suck, we suck eggs!
