You never know. If some of the slogans are cheekily engaging, some would 
like that. And even if they don't drive donations on their own, they may 
reduce ad blindness and so raise the effectiveness of the campaign.

People are doing some interesting work with auto-optimized ad runs that 
we could look at adapting for next year. Given our massive amounts of 
traffic, we could accept a pretty broad range of slogans, and let the 
system sort out which are the most effective combinations. Money aside, 
there's something appealing about maximizing community involvement 
everywhere we can.
