I Wanna Hear Him Speak Chinese, Just Do It Phelps!
I just love that television commercial that I constantly see on cable tv, you know the one starring the greatest swimmer of all time Michael Phelps who recently won an amazing 8 gold medals at the recent Beijing Olympic Games.
Michael Phelps claims that the Rosetta Stone language learning system got him up to speed with the Chinese language for the Olympic games, Yeah Right! The one thing that seems to be blatantly missing form the 110-second commercial is the fact that you don’t hear one single word of Chinese spoken by Phelps during the whole advert.
Oh why didn’t they have the legendary Michael Phelps say at least a few words in Chinese to prove how good the system really is. It would have made the advert a tiny bit more believable that he actually used the system and could speak even just a few words in Chinese.
Never mind the real star of the commercial for me is Michael’s British Bull Dog called Herman; in fact I think I hear him grunt a few words of Chinese. The Course works after all!
I would also like to put in a special request to Rosetta Stone to see if they would consider putting a Bajan course together, now that would come in real handy for me! Rosetta if you can do it, you know that you can always find me at The Barbados Blog and at the Barbados Photo Blog, I shall be wating for you!
