This Alpha Dog likes to go ice skating

Every English-speaker who has walked down a street in China has wondered the same thing: Why didn't they just ask a foreigner to glance at the English on the that sign/that menu/that website/that t-shirt before sending it off to the printer? God knows there's enough of us walking around these days. So, what's stopping them? Well, there is, of course, the language barrier -- and the fact that 98 percent of the population doesn't give a shit about the English anyway. So all of the Engrish out there is a little bit understandable. So, what is Hollywood's excuse when it comes to Chinese? Chinese speakers make up a nice chunk of of the movie going population. And you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some Chinese folks in California. Why not not spend some of your multi-million-dollar budget and ask one of them if the tattoos you are drawing on a former boy-band-baladeer to make him look a little more bad-ass don't say something silly like ... oh, we don't know ... "ice skating."
