Heh, heh, this is even better than classic mistranslations by advertisers:

Pepsi: "Come alive. you're in the Pepsi Generation!"
In Chinese it came out as "Pepsi brings your ancestors back fron the dead!"

Coca-Cola: Rendered phonetically into Chinese characters, this product became in Chinese, "Bite the wax tadpole."
