[joesenior91]

As the title suggests i'm not a fan of the Funnest iPod Ever slogan.

Funnest isn't even a real word!!

Its marketing.
TUAW had a good article (http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/12/grammar-girl-covers-the-funnest-ipod-ever/) about this.

I agree with you.

Crap slogan. And "funnest" is one of those awful words that "marketing" love to dream up.

Funnest is an awful word. If i heard someone describe the touch as that id give them a swift kick in the family jewels lol. Reminds me of a 1960s advert.

" Aww gee dad thanks for getting me an ipod Touch, its the funnest ipod ever!! Its swell!! " :p

Apple's marketing department is famous for not following grammatical rules. "Think different," anyone?

Really? Why?

Cause Apple didn't put in a camera, duh!:rolleyes:

[techfreak85]

actually I asked my English teacher, and she said that there is some loop hole that makes "funnest" a word.:D

whether its grammatically correct doesn't bother me one way or the other, it is after all advertising/marketing, and part of its kitsch.

what does bother me however is that it sounds stupid and contrived as if Apple were trying way too hard. so i agree with the OP
