10 weird Ad Campaigns that translated badly (+Photos)

2. Parker

The gurus of pens, Parker, have been in the game for many years and have almost always come up on top. Well, I did say ALMOST. When they were campaigning for their brand of leak proof pens, their famous slogan read “It won’t leak in your pockets and embarrass you“. True enough for most users and simple enough for all English speaking people. But take that statement and translate it into Spanish and guess what you come up with? “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant”. If that is not confusing enough, I don’t know what is. What is the need for contraceptives when you have a Parker pen right? Parker, as a brand all over the world, did not know what went wrong and so they just changed it to make it easier for everyone.
