I know this thread is long dead and this isn't a good slogan any way but:
PostgreSQL: Put away childish things.
First: its horrible.
Second: It really only compares PostgreSQL and MySQL.
On the other hand -
* Why do I need an index for each foreign key? Oh! Its because MySQL things I'm some kind of blithering idiot. Of course I can't disable that behavior! And how in the world did
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21395 come about?
* SELECT post_id, count(*) FROM comment; works in MySQL. It produces one row. GROUP BY is for suckers.
* Non transactional tables are the default?!
* The connector is GPL!?
I only write this because I recently worked myself into a ten minute long rage and want to share.

That's not a project slogan, that's a release slogan.

Release slogans work better on t-shirts :-)
