That's funny!  It's like how the Chevy Nova wouldn't sell in South America
since "no va" means "doesn't run" in Spanish.  I
remember reading that in parts of Africa, since people can't read, the
labels on food containers have a picture of what's in them on the label. 
Gerber baby food uses a baby for its label, so they were wondering why no
one down there was buying their products...

Later,
Sean
