Does anyone have a tagline suggestion for Fahrenheit 451?I didn't understand the story enough to make a good tagline for an assignment. Only ones i...

The best tag-lines are corny or ironic: they reveal a situation or language that is not expected.  They are puns or parodies of others: they make fun of or honor earlier ones but with a twist.

Take, for example, the U.S. Forestry Service's "Only you can prevent forest fires."  Here's a spoof: "Only you can prevent book burning."

I also like the corny one on the movie poster: "Aflame with the excitement and emotions of tomorrow!"  What cheese!

Here's some more:

• "Montag: fighting fire with fire."


• "Fahrenheit 451: the temperature at which Montag kicks ass." (for a Rated R movie) or "...at which Montag gets hot under the collar" (for PG).


• "Beatty and the Electric Hound: Sleep now in your fire"


• Instead of "It’s not a job. It’s an adventure" (U.S. Marine Corps), you could say, "It's not a book.  It's an adventure."


• "The few, the proud, the Marines" could be "The few, the proud, the Book People."


• Instead of "Give a hoot, don’t pollute," you could say, "Don't be a weed.  Read" or "Plant a seed.  Read."


• Instead of "Friends don’t let friends drive drunk," you could say, "Readers don't let readers burn books."
