to me, quotes used incorrectly always carry some sense of sarcasm. kind of like a wink, wink, nudge, nudge kind of thing. the thumbs-up only adds to the sarcasm. yes, i'm bitter.
I could forgive the quotation marks as part of some company slogan. But that thumb has me picturing some Enzyte-type of character with a hearty wink, nod, and grin. No, I'm not bitter.

ReplyDeleteif you're gonna do the enthusiastic thumbs up thing, "the freshmaker!" is a much better slogan.
ReplyDeleteNo, the thumbs-up thing is there to help us imagine what could happen to the hand of some unfortunate passerby of the unattended pump in question.

ReplyDeleteoh, as in that might be the only finger you have left if you don't comply?
I definitely have to agree that the thumbs-up is almost as good as a wink for adding to the sense that the whole thing is meant to be sarcastic.
