Certain folks are now freaking out over AOL using "I AM" as a marketing thing.

"'I AM' pitch takes God's name in vain, say some shocked critics"

lolz are here.

I don't know about AOL, but DirectTV's "Somebody Up There Loves You" slogan gives me creeps of a religious/orwellian variety.

i always interpreted that part of the bible as god being snarky and saying "nevermind what they ask you or what my name is, JUST DO IT" and if they ask you tell them "I AM". and that I AM was really a totally bogus name.

If Americans were more bi-lingual, AOL could have better success with making their slogan "AMI"... Or if there were more Ghost & Mr. Chicken fans ....
