Got Milk?

“ANTI-MILK CAMPAIGN'S SPANISH TRANSLATION HITS SOUR NOTE
The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has long relished controversial ads to spread its message, but in an effort to reach out to Spanish-speaking children, something got lost in the translation—with unintentionally lewd results. A life-size cow has been visiting the nation's middle schools, including some in Orlando, Hialeah and Tampa, passing out playing cards and frozen soy bars. The heifer also totes a translated sign that is supposed to mean "Dump dairy"—but some say "Eche la leche" is slang for something else. The verb "echar" can also mean "to discharge" leading to some unfortunate consequences when combined with the word for milk. "In Spanish, milk can also mean sperm, and well, you can imagine," said Hialeah's Palm Springs Middle School Principal Manny Ferrer, who declined to elaborate. PETA officials were surprised by the suggestion. This time, the attention sparked by the campaign was a complete accident, they said. Over the years the campaign's English equivalent has also run into problems in the United States and abroad, prompting headlines such as "Chaos as giant cow protests at school."”

“Awwwww, now ain't that a friggin shame!”

“I guess that means it's a good thing domestic cats aren't a major food source in the U.S....”

“If these kids would learn to speak English, we wouldn't have these problems. :-)”

“Meow!”

“I knew Mr. Hyde would be over here as soon as the refigerator door opened.”

“Somebody's gonna get their eyes scratched out and Maple's gonna have to help him find his shoes!”

“LOL @ treebeard! That is one unhappy looking kitty!”

“...and now it's time for the microwave, Fluffy!”

“Hisssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“...thought you would like this one
dog”

“That pooch has cow ears!”

“Perhaps some PETA-head will attempt to milk him...”

“Got dog?”

“I thought PETA meant People Eating Tasty Animals...”

“Righteous bucks!”

“If human milk is so much better for babies, it makes one wonder why there isn't a market for pasteurized human milk.


...or maybe there is...”

“there is. but its super expensive and hard to get. usually for babies that are ill.”

“Sounds like there's a guy on the corner using look outs to sell it in 'dime' bottles!”

“She was just trying to make the breast of the situation.”

“Or milking it for as mush as she can.”

“Or milking it for as much as she can.”

“Sorry”

“Was this self serve or pre packaged?”

“I was hoping for a picture.

I liked the survey question, "Uhh no... your partner here does not lactate...."”

“Can you imagine the farm?”

“YES I can! I would like to be one of those devices used to pump the breast.”

“Breast pumps are awful, evil things. Of course teeth are worse.”

“i don't miss the pump, and i don't miss the teeth. ouch on both counts! but i do miss the snuggling. sigh...”

“Heck, I'd just like to see the production facility.”

“Skiracer sounds jealous.”

“Not sure if I should post the picture
