*sigh* And I had just gotten this song out of my head too...
I give up. It's getting set as a ringtone now, so at least it won't be only in my head.

The Chinese guy in the ad says the following:
"Wo hen jiaonian??? - wo meiyou chi Fruity Oaty Bar!"
Which means "I am/feel so ???, I haven't eaten Fruity Oaty Bars"
I don't know what the third word is or is supposed to be (I thought at first it might be "diu lian" = "lose face/feel shamed"), and neither does my Chinese wife. If anyone else can figure it out I'd be interested in knowing.

PS. My wife can't get the song out of her head now either. The problem wasn't helped by me looping the DVD and playing the jingle ten times in a row.

At a party this weekend, this girl walks by - she's wearing an underbust corset with a blouse. The blouse was unbuttoned - not just cleavage but most of her breasts bursting out.
I can't help it. The first words out of my mouth were, "She needs to lay off the Fruity Oaty Bars."
The guy I was talking to spurted his soda. I think I impressed him.

Can't help you there, dude. Im fact, I had half a mind to congratulate you on this your rite of passage to the 'verse. :)
Hearing you say this, tough, I'm beginning to wonder whether the subliminal message they stuck in for River was the only one.

Yeppers! It's "shamed" -- there's an Easter Egg on the Serenity DVD about how the FOB commercial was made, and the Japanese is described and the gentleman himself shown taking direction during filming.

Now, lets see if this board takes HTML:
P.S. Board apparently does *not* take HTML.
BTW, I thought everyone would have the Serenity DVD ISO permanently mounted for occassions like, well, this. :)

My Chinese informant also says "jiao nian" doesn't make any sense. I believe it is should be "diu lian" (to lose face), as well.
BUT what gets me is the Japanese katakana on the Fruity Oaty Bar itself. It says "MA RA SE TA" which my Japanese informant says is also jibberish. At the top it says, "KO HA WA MA RA SE TA SU KA TE SA". More jibberish. I think they dropped to ball on this. They could've just as easily written "FU RU CHI O CHI"

Hi folks, I am not a Serenity fan, I am just warning about a serious infraction, a break in the traditional (and critical) separation between scifi fan geekdom and the rest of civilization.
Google landed me on this site because a radio station (89.7 FM) in San Jose today, I think its a college station, was playing some stupid jingle over and over and over for at least the last hour... and for some reason on my ride into work I could not turn it off.
All I could make out was "Makes a Man out of a Mouse" and "Makes your bust out of your blouse" and then something in Japanese.
I'm putting you all on warning! Stop this silliness!
