Actually, "Hollyweird" has improved a lot, it's nowhere near as dirty and there aren't so many freaks hanging out there anymore. I remember back in 93 I went there for an audition and in the middle of the day I was afraid for my life!
Around 2,000 it really started to improve, and it's getting better and cleaner all the time.
The thing that bothers me to no end about Hollywood is the massive proliferation of Tattoo parlors, they're more prevalent than restaurants!
我最讨厌纹身!

September 12, 2008 at 1:12 AMYeah, I thought so too. Sometimes the camera would pan past the Vegetables and wouldn't stop to give you a good look at what it was. Maybe it was the circumstances surrounding the shoot. Shooting guerilla style is always just a matter of getting in and getting out before someone calls security! No time to perfect everything to exactly the way you want it.

Are you serious? You've gotta be kidding me! This is a joke right? You're just trying to get a rise out of people, is that it?
That says "BEAMER", with an M... as in BMW...the car.

I wonder why it translated the name "Jack" as "Czech Republic?" I thought I used the standard translation of the name "Jack". Google translated the name "Kevin" just fine.
Hmmm...lost in translation indeed.
It's hilarious to see how Google translated Kevin's dialogue after he became a "Philly" convert. I used the dialect of the Northeast (the dialect that the famous "Xiao3 Pin3" 小品 performer "Zhao4 Ben3 Shan1" 赵本山 to stand in for the "Philly" slang, so it's really funny to see how the Google Translator literally translated the 儿化音, er hua yin as "Children".
I'm also surprised the translator didn't recognize 送秋波 Song4 Qiu1 Bo1 (to make eyes at someone, to flirt with someone by making amorous glances at them).
Yes, definitely work on learning characters, with all deliberate speed! I highly recommend being literate at the earliest possible stage in the development of your Chinese.
Yes, Kevin definitely became a Stereotypical dude from Philly.
It would be hilarious to see a commercial like this for someone who soaks up L.A. "like a sponge"...I wonder what that would be like?

I never could understand what people see in, "In-N-Out". The burgers are alright, the fries, not as good as Carl's Jr or Jack In The Box's, "Natural Cut Fries".
Jack In The Box is the best fast food joint in So Cal...WHY?
Take a look!
实习学生！
捷克跟他秘书一起在走廊中走，他叫他的一个实习学生。
捷克: 凯文啊！
凯文实习学生站起来，我们可以看出他的样子非常整洁的。
捷克: 我要你搬到费城去学会做正宗的 《起司牛肉堡》。
凯文: 我要努力啊！
（过了六个月）
捷克和他的秘书在一起走着，捷克叫凯文。
捷克: 凯文啊！
凯文张起来了，凯文的样子完全改变并下降了，样子已经不整洁的而是特别邋遢的。他就变成了一个吊儿郎当鬼！
凯文说话时声音就有一种特别奇怪的口音。
凯文: 哟，捷克呀！哥们儿，咋样儿你呀？我把费城所有的见闻都给吸取好了呀！
凯文向捷克的秘书送秋波。
凯文: 小妹啊，你咋样儿呢？
捷克: 可能是有一点太正宗的！
