Such a poor initial presentation, to me, smacks of a boiler room operation carried out amid chickens and goats.. just sayin'.
... I hope I'm wrong, and it turns out to be a good product.

It does read like one of those very poorly translated Chinese ads, doesn't it? I think the most fun I had the Consumer Electronics Show back in January was reading the banners over the booths of the smaller Chinese companies on display. And I had this crazy idea that I could make a small fortune by offering translation services to them. No, I don't speak any of the Chinese dialects, but I'm pretty confident I could take their very poor translations and clean them up, use proper grammar and put a nice little marketing spin on things for them. It's obvious what they're trying to say, they just lack eloquence.
