Throughout the film Will Smith appeals to have it removed and written with correct spelling.

Of course the company marketing the film over here could have noted that. But yeah I was in the States when this was coming out and it looks like they've just used the same promo stuff from the original release. Anyway only midly annoying to myself - there's a great book called something like God and Coca Cola that I read a while ago that had some amazing examples of Coke using the same tag lines in places like Japan and China where rather than say 'Quenches your thirst' it tranlated as 'Shit in your cereal' or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28330263.post-73777291230085274062007-01-28T14:57:00.000+00:002007-01-28T14:57:00.000+00:00|it is a briliant essay - you will never use a dea...|it is a briliant essay - you will never use a dead metaphor again in your life having read it.

I was going to post about it on <a href="http://branddna.blogspot.com">Brand DNA</a> but I wasn't 100% certain it was wrong. <br /><br />It looks wrong. It smells wrong. It feels wrong.
