'Tis the Season

[rowyn]

Lut and I were shopping last night. Coke has started packaging their products with winter-themed labels.

Lut [reading the label]: "'Give love'."
Me [also reading]: "'Give, live, love'. Oh, wait, there aren't any commas. So 'Give live love!'" [with 'live' pronounced in adjective rather than verb form].
Lut: "Because giving dead love is illegal in fifty out of fifty states."

*giggles* I think I'm in love...

If the love in your bottle has expired, return the unused portion to your nearest retailer for equal or lesser affection.

There is an adult entertainment emporium next to the Los Angeles International Airport. In big letters to passers-by, it advertises "Live Nude Nudes!"

This has to be better than some alternatives.

So I'm NOT the only person who pronounced it that way when they first read it... I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or disappointed.

And y'know, if they meant it the other way, i.e., a list of things to do, it seems a rather odd order to put it in. I mean, if you aren't already living, than what's the purpose of giving? (Ooh, that sounds like a slogan of some sort.) And it seems pointless to love long after the giving and living have already occurred, though I suppose it could all be simultaneous. Still, I think it should have been "Live, Love, Give."

Dangit, why don't they consult me about these things?
