Before you marketing geniuses move into the international arena, you might want to brush up on your Spanish. This really happened to Parker in an advertisement for their Quink.

Marketing: The Quink pen "won't leak and embarrass you."
Spanish mistranslation: The Quink pen won't embarazar (make pregnant) you.

Same thing with the AMC Matador.

"Matador" means "vechicle of death."
