Welcome, ‏to Thursday August 5rd.  Chevy Nova Awards….

These are the nominees for the Chevy Nova Award. This is given in honor of the GM’s fiasco in trying to market this car in Central and South America. “No va” means, in Spanish, “No go.”

1. The Dairy Association’s huge success with the campaign “Got Milk?” prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read “Are you lactating?” 

2. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious adult magazine. 

3. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope’s visit. Instead of “I saw the Pope” (el Papa), the shirts read “I Saw the Potato” (la papa). 

4. Pepsi’s “Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation” translated into “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave” in Chinese. 

5. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as “Kekoukela”, meaning “Bite the wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with wax”, depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent “kokou kole”, translating into “happiness in the mouth.” 

6. Frank Perdue’s chicken slogan, “It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken” was translated into Spanish as “it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate.” 

7. When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its “Fly In Leather” campaign literally, which meant “Fly Naked” (vuela en cuero) in Spanish!

A missionary recruit goes to Venezuela for the first time, struggling with the language. He visits one of the local churches and sits in the front row. So as not to make a fool of himself, he decides to pick someone out of the crowd to imitate. He decides to follow the man sitting next to him in the front pew. As they sing, the man claps his hands, so the missionary recruit claps, too. When the man stands up to pray, the missionary recruit stands up, too. When the man sits down, the missionary sits down. Later in the service, the man next to him stands up again, so the missionary stands up, too. Suddenly a hush falls over the entire congregation. A few people gasp. The missionary looks around and sees that no one else is standing. So he sits down. After the service ends, the missionary recruit greets the preacher. “I take it you don’t speak Spanish,” the preacher says. The missionary replies, “No, I don’t. It’s that obvious?” “Well yes,” the preacher says. “I announced that the Acosta family had a new-born baby boy, and I asked the proud father to please stand up.”

Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day! ‘How much movie trivia can you answer? What movie is this quote from????  “I carried a watermelon”    

Answer: Dirty Dancing! In “Dirty Dancing” this line is said by Baby the first time she meets Johnny. He asks what she is doing in the club house and she states that she was helping to carry a watermelon. Afterwards, realizing how ridiculous her response must have sounded, she rolls her eyes and, with disgust, repeats to herself “I carried a watermelon.” While on a summer vacation at a family camp, Francis “Baby”, falls in love with the dance instructor, Johnny. The movie shows how her father is not accepting of the lifestyle of the dancers and thus of them. Johnny and Baby dance in the big show, after which Johnny is fired. He comes back to dance in the final show and has Baby dance with him.
