Here's a description of the show "Three Rivers" from CBS.com:
THREE RIVERS is a medical drama that goes inside the emotionally complex lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the country where every moment counts. However, dealing with donor families in their darkest hour and managing the fears and concerns of apprehensive recipients takes much more than just a sharp scalpel. Leading the elite team is Dr. Andy Yablonski (Alex O'Loughlin), the highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon, whose good-natured personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues. His colleagues include Dr. Miranda Foster (Katherine Moennig), a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father's excellent surgical reputation; Dr. David Lee (Daniel Henney), a womanizing surgical resident who's broken as many hearts as he's replaced; Ryan Abbott (Christopher J. Hanke), the inexperienced new transplant coordinator who arranges the intricately choreographed process of quickly and carefully transporting organs from donor to patient; Dr. Sophia Jordan, the head of surgery and a dedicated medical professional; and Pam Acosta (Justina Machado), Andy's no-nonsense operating assistant and best friend. In this high stakes arena, in which every case is a race against the clock, these tenacious surgeons and medical professionals are the last hope for their patients.
When Koreans inevitably ask me "what is Pittsburgh
Henney, son of an English father and Korean-American adoptee mother, has been a hearthrob in Korea for quite some time, and made his debut over here in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Though he speaks English fluently, of course, he has also delivered some of the more ridiculous Korean advertising slogans in recent memory, such as "Let's Bravo" for an ice cream cone and "Are you gentle?" for the Daewoo Gentra automobile. And, as far as I know he's the only Asian-American who endorses a skin-whitening product.

I used to think these Korean companies were innocently ignorant when it came to horrible grammar in their product slogans but it's obvious now that they don't mind the errors at all just as long as they get the general message across. I'm sure hiring foreigners shouldn't be a problem for these megacorps.
More importantly, Koreans will understand the grammatically incorrect slogans better which is ultimately the goal of the company and they are doing the right thing in that aspect.
However, Korea's culture and presence is becoming more global and well-known year by year and I think now would be a good time to start shaping up their grammar.
My sympathies to your grandparents, hope the insurance company treats them right.
Thanks! We'll see. The hospital actually contracts out to a valet service, so the valet service is responsible. The insurance will likely only pay what the car's worth today. Unfortunately, it being a five-year-old car, that wouldn't cover what it cost back then, and it doesn't take into account the five years of car payments already made. They may have a case against the valet service, though, so we'll see how that goes.

So somebody stole my grandparents' car from the hospital parking lot. What kind of low-life piece of shit does something like that?
The same people who stole our stroller from Sea World a few weeks ago?
