Levity
In the midst of the watching the Japanese coverage of the tsunamis, we switched to MTV Japan to find a McDonald's commercial with a Japanese narrator. Of course, the tag line ("I'm Lovin' It!") at the end was spoken in English, but the pronounciation was just a little off. As many native Japanese speakers will confess, their 'L's will be pronounced as 'R's, and 'V's will be pronounced as 'B's......So, the tag line unfortunately sounds like...a very excited spokesman exclaiming:

"I'm Rubbin' It!"

I'm not laughing at the individual or their efforts to speak English (that would not be cool), but just the fact that the tag line 'sounded' funny....Do I need to explain this? I'm not a bad guy, really. It was good to have some comic relief today, even if it was crudely funny only to me and some other depraved individuals.
