that's not offensive.
"We Ruv You Rongtime" would be offensive.

I'm always stunned at how things like this get approved and moved through the process at big companies.
I guess no one responded to the email asking everyone in the marketing department "Do you think this is a good or bad idea?"

Sometimes I think big companies get this sort of thing because they assign some junior person to some marketing element with minimal supervision, and forget to check up on things.

Someone who does market research or focus groups could use this as a great example of what can go wrong when an advertiser doesn't understand the market.

Or that perhaps the Chinese community could be pissed that they're being lumped in with the Vietnamese hookers and see this as a "Vietnamese, Chinese? They all look the same" kind of statement? |

This still isn't anywhere near as funny (or offensive) as the news gal in SF reading out the fake names of the pilots on that plane that crashed.

The guy in marketing that came up with this should get a raise. Instead of getting a little local advertising, the station is now getting national attention. Freaking Genius..........
