Some Advertisers just like pissing off Chinese people

By sushipan in sushipanda

From Adrants, we learn of this new ad campaign from ConAgra foods for their line of Asian Inspired Healthy Choice dinners. When we first saw the image we agree with the poster at Adrants: lame.

By sushipan in sushipanda

A WTF moment when I came across the following paragraph from a Bloomberg piece on the famous Shanghainese establishment Jesse:
