You know, if all these were true, it would make me want it more. . . . 
Came across a random link to a video demo for a new product called ‘PROTOCONDOMS’ read the blurb and check out the video . . . . . . .ahhhhhhh modern conveniences!!!
Let’s face it, using an ordinary condom is a real pain in the butt. First, you have to tear the pack open, often using your teeth. Then you have to take the condom out of the pack – this is a slippery business at the best of times. Next, you have to figure out which is the right side up, before you can unroll it. By the time the condom’s on, the mood is halfway out the window…
Fortunately, those days are over. Introducing PRONTO, the condom for the new millennium. The PRONTO condom can be applied in a few seconds. And it’s a lot more convenient to use, compared to an ordinary condom. You simply crack the pack open and unroll the condom directly onto the penis. Sounds too good to be true? See for yourself, by clicking on the demo: http://www.prontocondoms.co.za/demo_mov.htm
This is an obviously well thought out product, it has to be with a slogan like “the best way to get it on”

13) When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” The company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.”
12) Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: “Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux.”
11) Clairol introduced the “Mist Stick,” a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that “mist” is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the “Manure Stick.”
10) Coors put its slogan, “Turn It Loose,” into Spanish, where it was read as “Suffer From Diarrhea.”
9) Pepsi’s “Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation” translated into “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave” in Chinese.
When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what’s inside, since many people can’t read.
7) Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine.
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.”
5) 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.
4) 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).
3) 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) General Motors had a very famous fiasco in trying to market the Nova car in Central and South America. “No va” in Spanish means, “It Doesn’t Go”.
1) 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 “kokoukole”, translating into “Happiness in the Mouth.”
Today I got SPAMMED on my Blackberry. I never get spammed on my Blackberry. I received 657 copies of the same email from “Tom Flores” about getting cheap Cialis and Lunesta.
Well, I appreicate that Tom felt it was so important that I know about this fabulous deal of only $4.99 per 200mg!!!!!! Isn’t that a bargin!
The only thing that concerns me about this great deal (besides the fact that in truth the Cialis is wasted on me, as I don’t have the equipment or the dysfunction to warrant its use) is the fact that if I did need it, and I was also using the Lunesta as well- I might be too tired or even alseep to even enjoy the Cialis. . . .what a shame!
Just saw a commerical on TV for these, they are taco shells with flat bottoms for easy filling. . . .how brillant is that?
I love tacos, I think I am going to insist Colin and I have them for dinner tomorrow.
As a side note, I got this picture from Amazon.com. . . .amazon sells taco shells?????? Weird. . .
Love this jingle, its just absolutely Brilliant!!!\par

Ohhhhhh I could go on. . . . .\par

The radio station I listen to here in Montreal plays this jingle all the time, I have found myself singing to it every time its on, and you know what, I’ve noticed OTHER motorists doing the same thing.\par
\par
Its great that something so simple like a cereal jingle can bring a smile to so many faces.\par
\par
I for one say bring back the jingle in commercials! Song and Dance have been absent from our daily lives too long. . . .\par
\par
This is what good, positive and effective advertising looks like. Most people enjoy the little jingle, and even if you don\’e2\’80\’99t you remember it. With budgets and costs of running television advertising spots more expensive than ever (think Super Bowl!)\par

In case you were wondering where the cheesy tune for this jingle came from, its based on the song by BLACK LACE called “Agadoo”. . .here are the lyrics.\par
\par
Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee\par
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees\par
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody\par
\par
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki\par
Well she was sellin’ pineapple, playin’ ukulele\par
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway\par
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay\par
\par
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai\par
Around calypso sarong we’ll all be singin’ this song\par
\par
Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee\par
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees\par
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody\par
\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee\par
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees\par
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody\par
\par
And down on the shore they gather romance\par
She showed me much more, not only to dance…\par
\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee\par
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees\par
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody\par
\par
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree\par

This is a part of some chinese commerical. I have no idea the product or anything.
It puzzles and distrubes me - but at the same time I can’t stop laughing. . . .
