Now I know what most of the Aussie-based Bunnies are thinking -- WTF?!
This is actually the slogan out of the current PowerBar commerical from over Stateside, and I've seen it twice -- once on Sportscene (Seven, Brisbane) and again on The Panel, and IMHO this is the craziest thing about this ad.
Now for a US-English-to-Australian-English translation request... Teo, you there? According to our questionably-informed linguists, "Don't Bonk" translates as "don't choke" or "don't fail us now" -- is that correct? Thanks. ;)
I also have cause to wonder if this commercial is any indicator of the extreme as far as pre-Olympic hype is concerned...?
