Rebranding D.C.

Apparently jealous of cities with catchy slogans like "Metronatural" and "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas," D.C. is looking to come up with something better than its current crapfest of a slogan, "Washington, D.C.: The American Experience."

Christ, that's awful. I really liked, "Be Inspired," which was featured in those commercials Tony Williams did with The West Wing cast a few years ago. But I guess as both West Wing and Williams fell by the wayside, so did the slogan.

Anyway, the city has hired two PR firms to come up with something better, paying them somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000. Being the civic-minded person I am, I'm willing to do it for only $100,000. So if someone from the city government wants to contact me, I'll let you know where to send the check.

Here are my suggestions:

Washington, D.C.: Less of a target than New York

Washington, D.C.: Whether you dig black guys or just have a sweet tooth, Chocolate City is the place to be!

Washington, D.C.: That slutty American Idol chick? She goes to school here.

Washington, D.C.: Gentrification or bust

Washington, D.C.: Guns now welcome

Washington, D.C.: More bloggers than rats


Washington, D.C.: Our subway system is as easy as our interns

Washington D.C.: Still America's crack capital

Washington, D.C.: Our other madams don't keep records

Washington, D.C.: Hibachi!
