Go figure
"How bad do you want to be good?"
There are several points about that sentence that is incorrect. I saw it on the subway recently as an advertisement - yes, you probably have too. I understand that it is a punchline, meant to be used as a 'hook'; hence the symmetrical parts of speech despite its incorrectness. (I think it should be "badly"). Go figure this slogan is used for the School of Visual Arts. ... What's the deal?
