What's in a name?

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
O.K...the good news is that the 'War on Terror' is over [roars of applause].
The bad news?
Well, the bad news is that...it's just got a new name.
Do you remember when Puff Daddy became P. Diddy?
Well, it's like that, I guess.
(Same product, new packaging.)
Today at the BBC:
New name for 'war on terror'

It explains that the phrase 'War on Terror' is in need of an extreme make-over (see above). Turns out people aren't so fond of the term anymore.
Late Wednesday, the White House described the phrase as "totally played-out." There has been no word yet on the new face they will slap on this mess in Iraq. But it is sure to provide a "broader perspective to the evolving nature of the struggle" (see right).
So fellow patriots, I urge you to submit at least one idea in the comments section. Once a respectable list is compiled, I will promptly forward them to President Bush for consideration. Go crazy.

Bob, my vote goes to:

"Jihad a free country, but I-slam you now"

F*ck, I should really stop media planning and be a copywriter.

Nice KA,
Good to hear from you again, it's been too long.
I have another title idea:

"The 'Oil?! What oil?' War against the Devil (who is gay) and everyone else with a beard."

It's too long, and doesn't flow very well, I know. KA, yours still takes the cake thus far.

(By the way, I put the rose pictures up in honor of Shakespeare's famous/relevant quote: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
---or as rank, in this case.)

Keep the ideas comin.

my hats off to KA,

im posting because that comment reminded me of a story.

some kid in highschool was wearing a shirt that read ISLAM across the front. and a certain friend of ours (i wont mention who) came up to me between classes, pointed him out, and said "its BS he is wearing that shirt."

I thought, thats a bold statement, i mean the guy has a right to expression and blah blah blah.

then our friend said to me..... in all seriousness "there is NO WAY that kid can dunk"

to everyone back home... ill see you tomorrow night- have your drinking shoes out and polished

Nugent how are you getting to Akron, dick. Anyway I think Matt Stone and Trey parker from the movie Team America would have the best new Slogan for the war on terror. "America FUCK YEA" "Where here to save the Fucking Day YEA"

Sorry about the bad language.
