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

[Kasey Jones]

Just sayin'

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...

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)

 

[Halloween Mike]

Moi je dit toujours MTS, depuis quand sa changer?

 

[Lily from Montreal]

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 ...

 

[Mike's Mansion]

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!

 

[EagerBeaver]

acronyms certainly are not exclusive!

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