A new slogan has been recommended for Fruita, Colo., previously best known as the home of Mike the Headless Chicken. The slogan, “WTF”, of course stands for “Welcome to Fruita”, and a local couple already printed stickers with the slogan. There are mixed feelings about the proposal. “We saw them and thought it was pretty funny and thought it might be a good idea,” said city manager Clint Kinney. Indeed, the first 500 stickers were quickly snapped up, and its creators quickly ordered 2,000 more. “I can understand the need for creativeness,” said a very politic Mayor Ken Henry. “But my feeling is if they’re creative enough to come up with WTF, they’re creative enough to come up with something that doesn’t insult the sensitivities of people.” Opponents are pressing for “TGIF”, for “Thank God It’s Fruita”.
