thejockspot LOST IN TRANSLATION

as I was writing the hub fire safety,I was reminded of other stories I had heard about translation errors.

and I thought I would share them with you.

Coors beer slogan "Turn it loose" dive bombed in Spain where it read"suffer from diarrhoea".

Clairol introduced a curling iron in Germany which was called Mist Stick to discover later that"mist" in German is slang for excrement.

A tshirt salesman from Miami printed shirts in Spanish to celebrate a visit by the Pope they read I saw the Potato.

KFC also goofed in Spanish the ad was supposed to say"It takes a real man to make a tender chicken" it actualy read"an aroused man can make a chicken loving".

"Come alive with the Pepsi generation" in China read "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead".

translations can be funny lol.....jimmy
