- I sent this letter to Michael's craft store:
Dear Michaels,

What the...? What is "Imaginate"?

It's bad enough that American kids are getting a third-rate education in the US. Leave it to a company like Michaels to dumb them down even further by promoting a word that doesn't even exist and worse yet identifies with today's culture of fabricating lingo in an act of failed humor or superiority.

Shame on a company that even school teachers often resort to to supply their underfunded programs. They turn to you for help and this is what they see?

Michaels has fallen to a new low. Please change your tag-line and campaign. It's insulting to the english lexicon, contributes to to today's society of decay, and even more damaging to Michaels now questionable image.
Well, it worked! At least if you want to belive that I had anything to do with it. Their new tag line is "Let Creativity Happen". I just want to say 'Thank You' to Michael's. Bravo.

Please let Michael's know how you feel:
