Say what?

I was just given a girly keychain. It’s in the shape of the torso of a (shapely) woman, and the girly part of it is that you can interchange the torso to either be a jewel-studded pink or white dress. There’s even a little purse charm that goes on the keyring portion.

I’ll leave the implications for feminism for another time. Here’s what I found amusing. The packaging includes the following text (in white 4 pt type on a light pink background; case and punctuation theirs):

We have a contribution to our customers. It fulfills your needs in numbers of way Quality, Style, Reliability and Value for Money. we adapt to crises, and grab opportunities. Speed & flexibility are parts of our corporate culture.

But a good translation service apparently isn’t.

Doesn’t beat my favorite “come alive out of the grave with Pepsi” though!
