This seems to be an add for some kind of English course. It's hilarious!

  • As an incentive to learn English, the fatal flaw in this advert is that, if you don't understand English, the song is wasted; and those are the people the advert is aimed at. It will only work when viewed with people who understand the sort of English you don't learn in class.

  • Yes, but you forget that the whole world watches Hollywood movies. And in most countries other than USA people don't actually bother dubbing them - they just provide subtitles. I grew up in Poland watching subtitled American movies for example, and ever my grandma knew what "fuck you" meant in English. It's just something you pick up via osmosis when you constantly hear it on TV, in popular songs and etc.

  • @szaman2 Polish are everywhere haha

  • What's the Dutch translation just curious 

  • but it does make a certian point not just about foriegn countries but also about children and the music they listen too, and how easy it is to find language or learn a bad word without knowing it from a song....Even I was guilty of one song (not nessarily a bad word more the message in it that I had no clue of and grew up hearing and never knew what it meant till high school...so it does make several statments....So i really do like this add, could be controversial (I think thas the right term)

  • Also this add even reminds me of my friends who always try to search for the bad words first even in my ASL classes the other kids would ask the teach for the bad word and keep coxing till were told like its a game (I'm not the person who swears I actually never have) but it just reminded me of my friends who would be hyper to find that kind of stuff...Also when I frist saw this it really got me to go "OH MY GOSH" first the grandparents but mainly the children... Wow

  • Hey my English 101 teacher went on Youtube to show us this add just this past week 4/4-8/2011 and it was hilarious the point was to find the Rhetorical situation (writer, audiance, context, exigence/purpose, message) this was pretty easy but fun never had a teacher besides in ASL actually go on youtube for examples (I mean in college I'm a freshy on spring quarter) also he's an awesome teacher this is totally awesome thank you for posting it...

  • Most foreigners to any region learn the profane words first. This ad works based on that idea, you fucking morons.

  • @TheAngelAbandoned i know most of the lyrics to the songs i listen to lol coz i listen carefully

  • nooooooooo (@Д@;)イヤァ~~~~!!!!
