iSchlong: Apple’s New iPhone 7 Slogan Translates To “This Is Peen” In Cantonese

New Apple iPhone 7 Slogan Translates To Phallic Phrase In Cantonese Being a global company and all, Apple really might wanna consider how their marketing will be received in other countries… Via DailyMail Apple’s ‘This is 7’ slogan for its new iPhone 7 has a rather unfortunate translation in Hong Kong. Smartphone users have been mocking the technology firm’s latest marketing line because it sounds just like ‘This is penis’ in Cantonese. China is one of Apple’s biggest markets, but the translations for its new slogan differ drastically across mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. While mainlanders and Taiwanese people predominantly speak Mandarin, Hong Kong dwellers typically converse in Cantonese, which is why the comical translation only affects them. Suffice to say, social media users in Hong Kong are LMFAO’ing ‘The slogan “7, is here” in China is the best. They got so many “7”s,’ said one Facebook user. ‘Why didn’t people say anything during the launch of Windows 7?’ queried another. ‘How about iPhone 7 Plus? More “7”s?’ suggested another user on the social network. Will you be putting a “7” to your face in the upcoming weeks? Image via Apple

‘Selma’ Star David Oyelowo Says He Was “Called By God” To Play MLK

Wow… David Oyelowo Felt The Call of God For His Role in ‘Selma’ David Oyelowo almost didn’t snag the role of Dr. Martin Luther King in ‘Selma,’ but what he felt was a force from above forced him to keep gunning for the part. Via JustJared : David Oyelowo hits the carpet while attending the 2015 National Board of Review Awards Gala held at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday (January 6) in New York City. The 38-year-old English actor was in attendance to support his movie Selma, which won the NBR Freedom of Expression Award. Also attending the event were David‘s Selma co-star Common and director Ava DuVernay, as well as Top Five‘s Chris Rock. David recently opened up about his need to star in the critically acclaimed film. “When I first read the script in 2007, I wouldn’t cast me as Dr. King, between being English and at that point I’ve done very few American movies, but I felt a call of God to do this thing,” he said. Well with a conviction that deep, no wonder he did such an amazing job! Have you seen the movie yet?

Monster Sues Dr. Dre And Jimmy Iovine, Alleging “Fraud & Betrayal” In Beats Audio

Dre about to have to come up off that Beats cash? Jimmy Iovine & Dr. Dre Sued For “Stealing” Beats Technology Looks like those amazing Christmas bonuses Dr. Dre gave his legal team are about to come in extra handy. The rapper, along with business partner Jimmy Iovine, is being sued by Monster for stealing the technology for the wildly successful Beats audio brand and leaving Monster in the dust. Via Forbes : For audio cable company Monster, the wound that Beats Electronics left is years old but still stings like a fresh stab in the back. In a lawsuit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court Tuesday, Monster CEO Noel Lee said that his company was betrayed by Beats Electronics, the company behind “Beats By Dr. Dre” headphones, when the two companies parted ways in 2012, and that Beats has gone on to try to erase Monster’s contribution to its headphones. The suit claims that rapper Andre “ Dr. Dre” Young and music mogul Jimmy Iovine conspired to steal the audio engineering that Monster built for the Beats headphones, which were a joint project. The suit alleges that Monster, not Beats, was primarily responsible for designing the headphones, and after Dre and Iovine severed ties with Monster, they tried to wipe away Monster’s role in Beats’ success. It adds that beyond Dre’s status as a celebrity, his “main contribution was to bless Monster’s headphones when he exclaimed: ‘That’s the s–t!’” While Monster was left trying to build a new product to compete with its own creation – and without the technology that Beats retained control of — Beats continued to succeed. In May, Apple AAPL -0.03% bought the company for $3 billion. Thanks to the sale, Dre walked away with an estimated $650 million before taxes in 2014, which rocketed him to the top of FORBES’ highest-earning musicians list for the year. Yikes! If this case gets proven in court, Dr. Dre might have to finally release that “Detox” album he’s been talking about for the past 15 years to make up for that $600 mil in lost cash…

Tila Tequila Lives and Has Powers of the Day

If you’re wondering where Tila Tequila has been all your life, you know since she fell off the map when she lost her show and her mind and fell into a drug fueled downward spiral and I know you aren’t wondering where Tila Tequila has been, but more wondering who Tila Tequila is, because she’s that fucking useless….Well, she’s been honing her talent of magician who can contort energy for Youtube so that everyone things she’s crazy and that she gets a video with more than 100,000 views, since the last time that happened was years ago and it only happened because she stripped like it was Myspace and she just landed Playboy, the root of all this shit that is Tila Tequila. As amateur as it is, it’s all strategic, and I spent with Tila Tequila when she was at her peak and on TV, she didn’t even drink, and wouldn’t let anyone touch her or her hair. The highlight of her career wasn’t fake friends on myspace leading to a TV show thanks to MTV having no understanding of the internet or good content, it wasn’t when the show was cancelled, it wasn’t that barely anyone cared about her, I mean they didn’t even bother mocking her demise, IT WASN’T HER SEX TAPE she was that irrelevant…the highlight, as far as I’m concerned, is that she had this “Army” of losers, that had her back and singled me out one day on twitter…but maybe I’m just being selfish. make ti all about me. Watch her insane video that’s not even insane. Here she is modeling bikinis before she turned lesbian, lost her mind, etc….. BUY HER SEX TAPE

40 Year Old Avril Lavigne’s Song About Being 17 of the Day

Old timer Avril Lavigne has a song about her youth…. I can’t believe she’s still milking that one trick pony she rode in on. I mean she’s probably pushing 40 by now, yet she still dresses like a 17 year old, and writes song about being 17, even though you know she probably doesn’t remember being 17 because it was so long ago. I think we call this knowing her market, but more importantly knowing shit lyrics that speak to 17 year olds, you know low level smut with lyrics like “acting stupid for fun”….”not caring about anything”….”cuz we were 17″….shut the fuck up cunt. Somone needs this twat sent back to Canada so we can do what needs to be done to her Canadian beaver….that has got out of line….you know take it out back and have it shot, stuffed and mounted. You know cuz either we put her out of her misery, or she becomes the source of our misery. I mean seriously, her career has been going on for 15 years, I would have assumed she’d be a has been stripper by now. Where did it all go wrong ? Here are the hottest Avril Lavigne pictures I could find on such short notice..

In “Business Venture Sure To Fail” News: MC Hammer Is About To Compete With Google

MC Hammer is trying to make that super bread with his new search engine venture. MC Hammer, entertainer-turned-entrepreneur, demonstrated some of the capabilities of WIREDoo, which Hammer called both “Deep Search” and “Relationship Search,” at Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on Wednesday. Hammer, cognizant of the presence of Google co-founder Sergay Brin in the audience, said that the technology isn’t meant to replace existing search, but to add value. Specifically, search queries add the notion of data relationships to results. For example a search of the word “car” might also come with the relationships to insurance, cost, specs, mileage, and who the driver will be. A search for “home” might also include relationships to community, schools, financing, insurance and so on. According to the people in attendance, Hammer’s site might actually be pretty useful and a viable contender for Google’s crown. Maybe Hammer will end up with more money than Jay-Z after all. Hey, anything is possible.

Clash of the Titans Sequel Will Be Converted to 3-D

Release the crappy? In an interview with Cinematical , director Jonathan Liebesman said that his Clash of the Titans sequel (titled Wrath of the Titans ) would be given the post-conversion 3-D treatment, much like the derided first film. The difference? “I think what you have to remember is the first film was neither shot nor edited with 3D in mind,” said Liebesman. “[T]hey decided to convert it with six or seven weeks to go until release, which is insane; the technology was not there. That’s why we’re conceiving it from the start, from the ground up, in 3D, editing in 3D for 3D.” Sounds like a plan. My designer 3-D glasses are already on order. [ Cinematical ]

Are Disposable eReaders In Our Future?

Image via University of Cincinnati Scientists at University of Cincinnati have figured out how to use a plain old sheet of paper as a surface for electrowetting, the technology behind e-paper such as used in e-readers and similar devices. It sounds like a dream come true because, as the researchers point out, it reduces device complexity and cost. However, it could be a huge concern since it may very well result in “disposable” one-time-use electronics. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
