A sibling of the 'slogan' (which is used by corperations and political activists for getting the public's attention) is the 'meme' (used by prepubecent boys on the internet). The phrase "Don't taze me, bro!" is recognisable to anyone in America under 25. A nice definition of meme (nicer than the one I posted above anyways) is a unit of cultural information that represents a basic idea that can be transferred from one individual to another, and subjected to mutation, crossover and adaptation. The 'Don't taze me bro' meme has been used in many different applications, such as pictures, stories, and even Youtube techno videos.
