What happens when a promo goes gay?
My satellite provider has this new competition, where one can win a date with a popular actor from one of their shows. When they sent the promotional message through the satellite boxes, there was one funny mistake - It was phrased in the masculine. (It was in Hebrew) I’ll try and show this in English some way. Parts in square brackets were added by me to make up for the lack of grammatical genders in English:
Promo: [Boys,] Dreaming of that hottie from Our Highschool Song 2? Go to yes.walla.co.il, answer the questions and you may win a date with Yehuda Nahari
Next, I commented on a news post about this (phrased correctly), which they posted on Facebook:
Me: Hi, did you notice you phrased this message in the masculine in the versions sent to our satellite boxes? Was it a human error or a clever hint? ;)
Then, they responded with a funny, cool response that made me laugh out loud:
Yes: Referral is masculine, but is designed for both men and women.
…and I just found yet another reason to love Yes.
