I love how they don't acknoweledge that they've been away for 6 months. This time they've actually recorded casts and then just deleted them.

This has bugged me forever too. It's not just that the tagline is bad, there are a ton of terrible tag lines. But they put it all over their marketing like it was pure gold.

Aaahh, meaningful discussions intertwined with non sequitur segway.... I really missed this. Thanks guys!

The discussion about the Mechanic/Dynamic/Aesthetic approach really picked my curiosity; any link for the paper mentioned by Chris?

Something along the line of the Kangaroo Jack Tagline stunt happened to me : a trailer for "Nick of Time" on the French channel M6 tried to convey the 'profound' dilemna of Depp's character by saying : "Now he must choose between saving his daughter and killing the future president". It ran for two weeks, everyday, at prime time, and nobody around me seemed to be bugged.
