Is new AOL IM slogan marketing blasphemy?
‘I AM’ pitch takes God’s name in vain, say some shocked critics

Here is the World Net Daily article worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48585

It sure looks blasphemous to me. And I agree with Millar when he says that “AOL would never think of using – or misusing – the names “Allah,” or “Buddha” in its corporate marketing efforts.” Imagine the outcry.

Gee, maybe the Internet really is the Anti-Christ afterall.

Most people when refering to God say God not “I am”…

I use this phrase on a daily basis…I am your mom, I am your wife, I am his wife, I am their mother, I am Austrian, I am …I am…I am!
 
I think that is a bit of a reach. I really have doubts that they were making a reference to God, and this is coming from a guy who really does not like AOL.
 
It’s just a play on words of the term IM compared to the term I Am. Its intent is to convey how AIM provides multiple ways of communicating to suit anybody’s taste, hence the “I Am” referring to individuality.
