[b]Toyota Unveils New Slogan:[/b] “Drive a Toyota. You’ll Never Stop.”
Hopes to Reverse Public Relations Setbacks

TOKYO (The Borowitz Report) – Hoping to reverse a series of public 
relations setbacks, Toyota today unveiled a new slogan, “Drive a Toyota. 
  You’ll Never Stop.”

Company spokesman Hiroshi Kyosuke said that the slogan was chosen after 
the company considered several others, including “Toyota Puts the Pedal 
to the Metal. And Keeps it There.”

Mr. Kyosuke said that the company considered, but then abandoned, the 
slogan, “Toyota. The Last Car You’ll Ever Drive.”

[b]Introducing the Hot New Social Network, PhoneBook[/b]
Allows User to Call Friends, Speak to Them

SILICON VALLEY (The Borowitz Report) – A new social network is about to 
alter the playing field of the social media world, and it’s called 
PhoneBook.

According to its creators, who invented the network in their dorm room 
at Berkeley, PhoneBook is the game-changer that will leave Facebook, 
Twitter and even the much anticipated Google Buzz in a cloud of dust.

“With PhoneBook, you have a book that has a list of all your friends in 
the city, plus everyone else who lives there,” says Danny Fruber, one of 
PhoneBook’s creators.

“When you want to chat with a friend, you look them up in PhoneBook, and 
find their unique PhoneBook number,” Fruber explains.  “Then you enter 
that number into your phone and it connects you directly to them.”

Another breakout utility of PhoneBook allows the user to arrange 
face-to-face meetings with his or her friends at restaurants, bars, and 
other “places,” as Fruber calls them.

“You will be sitting right across from your friend and seeing them in 
3-D,” he said.  “It’s like Skype, only without the headset.”

PhoneBook will enable friends to play many games as well, such as 
charades, cards, and a game Fruber believes will be a breakout: Farm.

“In Farm, you have an actual farm where you raise real crops and 
livestock,” he says. “It’s hard work, but it’s more fun than Mafia, 
where you actually get killed.” More here.
