Chinese company suing US government after buying the wrong “AMC”
5/21/2012 3:33 PM Matt Rock -
Chinese super-conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group is filing an international lawsuit against the United States today after they made a $2.6 billion deal to acquire the company AMC, saying they believed they were getting AMC Networks... not AMC Theatres, an unrelated chain of movie theaters throughout North America.
“We want Don Draper and zombie movie play on television screen box,” said a statement issued from Dalian Wanda Group to PTP, a message that showcased how terrible the company's translator was. “We no like cabaret house and want money tip for head injury.”
For their part, the US government seemed confused by the lawsuit. “This whole thing can be chalked up to a communication breakdown. But why the government is getting sued is beyond me,” said US Attorney General Eric Holder. “I'm guessing this is a translation error. They probably wanted to sue the company, and ended up suing the government. We're all pretty confused. This is the reason why I hire neighborhood kids to put my entertainment centers together.”
PTP's Asian-Pacific Headquarters sent reporters to interview the translator causing all of the confusion. The translator, who asked to remain anonymous fearing he may never find work again, claims he was taught English as an exchange student, studying at a public school in Mississippi for a year... a State where even natural-born US citizens can't speak English. - Return to Previous Page
