Galaxy Tab’s Being Shipped with P0rn Button to Dracula Country
News has reached me that some of Samsung’s Galaxy Tabs are being shipped with a ‘Porn’ button instead of ‘Home’.
OK, so it’s not actually a button, it’s the legend for an icon, and it isn’t exactly Porn, but rather “Porn.â€, but yes, it’s still funny.
The hilarity is caused because “Pornire†in Romanian means “Start.†(the noun, not the verb) and some bright spark/practical joker at Samsung decided there wasn’t enough space for the whole word beneath the house icon, so went and abbreviated it. Hence, “Porn.â€.
Perhaps translating “home†to Romanian, which is “acasa†would’ve been safer?
I wonder how many English speakers will try to import one of these? 😉
