Mighty shit I'd say.MARVEL comic made the PR disaster of the year !
This is new Filipino-American shield-bearer hero for "The United States of Captain America #4."
her name Ari Agbayani
Translated from Filipino it means "Mighty Vagina"...
That's a major problem in international marketing and explains why a lot of Japanese car companies like Lexus use names that seem evocative but don't appear in any dictionary. Rolls Royce was going to call a model the Silver Mist until they found out what it means in German: shit, manure and so on.Mighty shit I'd say.MARVEL comic made the PR disaster of the year !

Local forces were unable to sell the alcohol due to religious and cultural differences in Afghanistan.
A defence ministry spokeswoman said on Monday that they had found a civilian contractor to repatriate the drinks.
[...]
More than 60,000 cans of beer and hundreds of bottles of wine and champagne are at Camp Marmal near Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan, the paper reported.
Spokeswoman Christina Routsi announced on Monday that the contractor will now fly these back to Germany before the last German troops leave.
That's not a Sherman and it's not even a tank, it is an M10 Gun Motor Carriage, aka tank destroyer.
Nova in Spanish actually means ... Nova. A type of a star. Unlike Pajero, this is a myth. Altough some people didd joke anobout the "no va", they didn't change the name and it sold allegedly quite well.Chevrolet had to change the name of the 'Nova' in Mexico years ago after they were told 'No Va' meant 'No Go' in Mexican.
Similar problems arose with the Mitsubishi Pajero. Don't google 'pajero'.
Ah! The "Temple of Sawdust!"I thought it was just me.

Congressman Louie Gohmert demonstrates his mastery of physics and climatology
(It's even better when you realise he's speaking to a senior Forestry Service official, not NASA)
Indiana's House Bill no. 246 of 1897 attempted to define Pi as 3.No elected official in the United States could actually be that ignorant.
Yes, I'd agree he was just indirectly invoking King Canute to make a point.I'm sure he was just being sarcastic.
The problem is he was absolutely guaranteed he'd get the stereotypical Cnut interpretation (I'm so stupid I think my ego can stop tides) rather than the subtle one (I'm well aware of the limits of my power, watch me stop this tide, not) from the other side/the media. The chance to look stupid, particularly if the Forestry Service official had chosen to answer the point with a physics lesson, is so high you'd have to be stupid to take it. So he's damned either way.Yes, I'd agree he was just indirectly invoking King Canute to make a point.I'm sure he was just being sarcastic.

Slang complicates things too, and Honda found out that Fitta was Swedish slang for vagina and a car they had intended to market with that name was going to be advertised with slogans like "Small on the outside, big on the inside" and "Use it for your daily pleasure." Whoops...
By the way, "My hovercraft is full of eels" is "A légpárnásom tele van angolnákkal" in Hungarian.
