Oh good lord - the "Child Victims of Crime" charity has a tagline. A very, very frightening tagline.

"Turning nightmares into dreams come true".

Good. Fucking. Lord.

Anyone got similar examples of unintentionally terrifying slogans?

That... is strange.

This isn't really a slogan, nor is it creepy:
There's a charity called Locks of Love which helps children with hair-loss conditions. They've got a section with letters from the kids and pictures and stuff, entitled 'LOL Kids'.

Any charity associated with Ronald McDonald must come pretty high up in the creepy charts though.

Stockport briefly rebranded itself "The Jewel in the Ring"

Which has all sorts of connotations.

Hmm. I never knew they did a radio show. They did play that sound clip when I went to see them, though.

One of my favourite M&W skits, that one. Right up with the two Nazis wondering if they might be "the baddies".
