A Snark Too Far

There’s nothing wrong with a little harmless ridicule. But sometimes we take it too far. Hey, we know we have a problem.

When we saw Able Planet’s booth at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we knew we had a winner on our hands. Specifically, a winner of the Wootable Award for Most Underwhelming Slogan. We thought “It Is Possible” was a hilariously understated tagline, especially at a show packed to the rafters with overbearing hype.

Whoops. As Able Planet CEO Kevin Semcken pointed out, the company chose that slogan to make the point that “It Is Possible” to lead a full, active life despite hearing loss. Products like these Noise Canceling Headphones don’t just deliver clear, full sound for people with normal hearing – they also enhance sound clarity for individuals with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

To make us feel even worse, our photo of the Able Planet booth included part of a display featuring snowboarding champion Lauren Weibert, who herself suffers from hearing loss. Thanks to Able Planet, she’s able to talk on the phone, listen to her iPod, and talk with CES attendees. If only we’d been able to talk to her before we made our catty little remark.

So we’re sorry, Able Planet. You know how it is: you’re at a huge show, you have to write a quota of dumb jokes every day, you don’t think about who might get hurt along the way. Our bad.

We still like your other slogan – “Hear the Difference” – a lot more, though.
