This is one reason why outsourcing doesn't work.

My DH sent this to me. This is one of the best blooper ads I have seen, and it demonstrates what can happen when companies outsource their ads to foreign countries in order to cut costs. Someone who is ESL (English as a second language) wrote the copy line for this ad (see below). The woman has heartburn, she finds the Gaviscon, then she pours it out. The little firemen coming out of the bottle are supposed to be there. The little firemen put out the fire in her stomach, then she has a satisfied smile on her face. It's the writing at the end that is hilarious.
