U.S.: California and Nevada have a turf war over advertising slogans

  • What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens in California makes the world go ’round.
  • The slogan being used by a series of ads in California • In an attempt to retaliate against Nevada’s recent efforts to woo businesses away from the state. Nevada’s ads were a bit harsh, admittedly – they suggested that the state budget was a bunch of flying pigs, and legislators were monkeys – but Nevada also didn’t have an embarrassing budget crisis lately. In case Oregon’s interested, we totally have a great ad campaign for them: “Oregon: We didn’t give you an IOU.” • source
