anyone think the phrase "Expect Amazing" is not making any sense?

The following might make more sense..

Expect amazing heat..

Expect amazing camels..

Expect amazing fines after dropping your friend near a bus stop..

etc etc.. get my drift??

@ Prabos,well actually mate,i've come across a whole bunch of people,apart from myself & we've discussed this slogan...the fact is,it's grammatically wrong,"expect amazing"???...it ought to be "expect amazing something"...now obviously this term was coined by someone with a,let's say,not very firm grasp on the basics of English grammar...& you know what,he/she/they probably got paid a few hundred thousand riyals for this campaign...just sums up the situation really...the financial resources are there...but common sense & logic...what's that?...

So yes,you're right,the slogan as it stands is wrong,i'm assuming it's grammatically correct when translated into Arabic but then the slogan should've been in just Arabic right?...if they've chosen to put it out in English,the least they could've done is to make sure they got it right...i mean seriously,how hard can it be to verify English grammar???...

@ KingMod,since the Government is watching,i have a suggestion for them...get a new advertising agency,preferably with someone who actually knows English,not someone who thinks they do!...
