China?

[Texanne]

I just saw on the ESPN crawler that Texas and Washington will play a game in China in 2015.

I can just hear it now, Musberger doing play by play, breaking for a commercial and the Chinese overdub translation of Musberger says:

"....and now, a few words from Coca-Cola, ' Bite the Wax Tadpole! ' "

(returning from commercial break, Chinese voiceover of Musberger continues)

"Yes indeedee, my friends, there's nothing like hanging out with a few good buddies watching an NCAA basketball game with a fridge full of Coca-Colas, biting the wax tadpole --- that's real happiness in the mouth!"


The Link

(ad campaign blunders from the U.S. to China, some in the link are noted here)

Coke:

Bite the Wax Tadpole

Happiness in the Mouth


Pepsi:

Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.


KFC:

Eat your fingers off.


Hook 'em (no telling WHAT that will come out as)

"Hook 'em Horns!" = "Go fishing with a bugle!"

 

[Statalyzer]

Not sure what I think about this...

Is communism contagious? Maybe our guys should get shots or something.

Is there a Motel 6 in Bejing?

Huskies and their fans are embracing this opp. Wouldn't be surprised if they get the W over Texas in China.
