If I were MTLGFE, I wouldn't post a thread called "Fantastic VD lineup"

Ha ha ha!

When I saw that I was going to send a message to them to tell them that VD is not an acronym that you want to use.

Hilarious. I lost my boner when I read this add.

It must be a French poster who does not understand the dire implication of the English acronym or that VD means "Venereal Disease" as well as "Valentine's Day." A native English speaker would not make this mistake. I have seen this happen in the past when you leave posting duties to a Francophone not experienced with the subtle meanings of certain English acronyms and words. It can be dangerous, but also funny, and in the past mostly funny mistakes happened.

This is a gruesome error. But mistakes like this have happened before.

I did not see anything wrong.......but now that you explained it I understand now!

I must be losing my mind with age...

Now thats call making a deal of nothing...

I have a wedding invitation where the response info highlights the first initials of the couple:. "T&A". It could have used full names, or A and T, or not been so highlighted, but no. I'm hoping the bridesmaids live up to the billing.

It might be a marketing blessing in disguise. No one was talking about their ads until now. It got my interest & i immediately checked out the ad & it got me peeking at their lineup.

It is maybe because in french the acronym for veneral disease is ITS...not even a disease (!( anymore,
it is ''infection transmise sexuellement'',french do not use the words '' maladie vénérienne'' anymore...

Anciennement c'était MTS (Maladies du temps des sucres)

Moi je dit toujours MTS, depuis quand sa changer?

Cela doit faire 10 ans mon poussin loll,c'est un bon signe que tu n'est pas au courant peut etre? Cela signifie que tu n'est pas concerné? lol

Mais a la clinique Actuel ou je vais pour me faire tester régulièrement c'est ITS qu'ils utilisent ...

quiet simply an error gentlemen lol. Won't happen again. We had a friend who doesn't speak english very well do the post that day

acronyms certainly are not exclusive. Every time I see "BLS", I think Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, then Bureau of Labor Statistics-- neither of which get me excited in a certain way!

They certainly are not, and this situation demonstrates the dangers of a Francophone using an English language acronym.
