The Cougar: Tag lines

Hey, have you heard about “cougars?” Older women going after younger men? Of course you have because people have been beating this idea to death for way too long. We get it already. That’s what men usually do, so how hilarious is it that women do it too? Totally hilarious!

Hopefully this reality TV show will end the cougar zeitgeist.

I think what’s most repulsive to me about this (besides everything) is the total lack of creativity in the tag line. For the past two years there’s been nothing but a glut of cougar related humor and the best TV Land’s copywriting team could come up with is “One Older Woman. Twenty Younger Men.” I wonder what their tag line for Law & Order would be. Probably “Cops and Lawyers Fighting Crime.”

Here are a few better tag lines I came up with for The Cougar.

TV Land, call me. I have even better ideas for High School Reunion.

I once pitched a show called “Chubby Chasers”.

The tagline was “One Bull. Twenty Cows.”

It did not go over well.

Don’t waste your time casting pearls before such swine.

I don’t know if I told you this or not, but my good friend Matt James came up with a reality show ide: Who Wants To Marry A Mongoloid… not particularly tasteful, but it brought up a very important point. Well, to me it did.
