In fact, I took a pic of it and posted it on my blog too. It's just so weird. What were they thinking? Actually, I know what they were thinking. It's not weird here that boys hold hands. I see non-gay teenage boys holding arms or shoulders, I've even seen a couple of them hold hands. An adjustment to be sure, especially since I moved here from Miami.;...

But I still think it's hilarious that they decided to make them wear nothing but speedos! Thanks for the information on their logo Fifi.

Haier's blog brand image in China, what u saw two boys is because once Haier cooperated with a german company to develop its own tech on fridge under the help of German engineers and later Haier is developing fast and fast from the first generation fridge in china market . And to Chinese culture , it is to show the friendship between two companies so one asian boy and one western boy hug together to show friendship and appreciation of the help. And also Chinese like little kids very much, it is the symbol of lovely and cute so Haier change its brand image like you mentioned in local market. But right now it is also realized the culture differences and have changed its image in overseas like that. hi, i read ur blog at a chance and thx for sharing.
