The Bird

A few weeks ago, when Kristy and I were in Taipei for our one month training, we spotted a pretty bizarre advertisement. It was for a clothing store called Pants Kingdom. It was a huge billboard above the store that showed the top of a pair of jeans. Inside the unzipped jeans, there was an enormous bird cage, with a huge parrot inside. The text said, "Even the biggest bird can fit inside our pants." We thought at first it must be a case of bad translation, and we were partially correct. I later found out the translation was just fine, it was the cultural meaning behind it that didn't translate so well...apparently, 'bird' is a euphemism for penis...
