the daily cambodia: advertising

As others who have spent a good deal of time living in other countries will tell you, one of the best parts of the experience can be the daily humorous things you witness as your new country attempts to develop or grow or simply just fold in some of those more Western things that we take for granted in our culture.

In particular, English signage or general wordage can prove quite hilarious.

To begin, let's digest two fine examples of advertising I've seen in the last few weeks.  Perfectly enough, both of these examples come from imports from OTHER Asian countries- Japan and China.

You know you want to buy these  amazing butter cookies that are produced meticulously, delicious loved by all.  Also, you should know that they have adopt advanced technology to make these cookies.

Or perhaps that is simply a general directive to the consumer to avoid being left behind, technology wise?

Get thee to a Best Buy!

Social status is heavily based on the color of one's skin here.  The lighter the better, and they've taken to using everything they can to lighten- or whiten- here.  See above, wherein we've imported a miraculous treatment from China called LOVE Speckle-dispelling & Whitening Distillate Set, which describes itself best as an In-depth Whitening Cleaning Milk Whitening Tender Mend Liquid Skin Life Liquid and Spot Dispelling Cream.

Of course.  Don't forget to use the Tender Mend liquid before the Skin Life liquid, and apply the final cream.

All sales final.
