An amusing English-to-Chinese translation...

HBO is currently running a massive advertising campaign in Hong Kong targeted at female viewers...

One of the many enormous, wall-sprawling murals we saw in the MTR stations this weekend

Seeing "chick flicks" caught my attention first, since I don't think it is widely used or even widely known here, but its Chinese translation is the real gem: "women emotion movies" (the five characters just above the English). Ha! As if, somehow, these movies evoke emotions that men just don't have. ;)
