Saving Animals?

The Saturdays are a kind of latter day Spice Girls from what I can gather. They don’t seem to have made much impact, but their publicists are working day and night to conjure up meagre stories about them so they can garner a few column inches. One of the girls was photographed the other day in a t-shirts saying “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” which looked glaringly familiar to me. Katie Price was spotted with the same slogan shortly after splitting up from Peter Andre, causing confused t-shirt decipherers to question whether or not this was a statement or just hopefulness. Interestingly enough, the words actually come from a song lyric from Big and Rich, a country group who released the song in 2004.

Ye-Haa!

This has become a very popular slogan which has given rise to a variety of snowclones (I only just discovered what this meant, and am going to use it on everyone I know to see how long I sound clever for), such as “Save a horse, (Ride an American)”. Possibly a variety of slightly changing t-shirts could be worn every day, just to see if anyone notices or how long it takes them to catch on. Fantastic fun!
