I'm here in Singapore (where English is the official language) talking at a conference. One of my friends gave me an advertising pamphlet for a company called MBO (MediaBoxOffice) an advertising firm here. Their slogan (I swear, I will scan this when I get home if someone calls shens) is:

Working with MBO Means Being H.I.V. POSITIVE

Happy partners and team members
Integrity in our dealings
Value-added services and products
POSITIVE results

Not sure if someone played a prank on them (they distribute these, they seem to think its fine) or wow, just wow....

LOL..

Reminds me of a wisely-discarded slogan out of Japan having to do with a search engine. I don't remember it entirely, except for the search engine mascot was a woodpecker, named "Woody the Internet Pecker".

Then mouse over the words ".the company." at the top of the page. Enjoy.

I didn't even think to check their site. Howard, I think that covers your shens ;) Wow, part of me wants to email them and ask if they know how this comes off to Americans and Europeans, and the other part of me just wants to laugh.

Okay, so what does "being H.I.V. positive" mean? :confused:
