As millions of people around the world celebrate the Chinese New Year, something appears to have been lost in translation at the BBC.
Instead of welcoming in the year of the horse, a subtitle error saw the BBC usher in the ‘year of the whores’.
One eagle-eyed viewer took a screen grab of yesterday’s gaffe before it was picked up on social media.
‘So it’s Chinese New Year, but the BBC subtitles got a bit confused about the year,’ said one.
Another added: ‘Happy Chinese New Year, according to BBC Subtitles it should be an interesting one!’

Here in the states it’s an election year, so Year of the Whores is entirely appropriate.
Fi’ dolla make you holla!
Out of my way, you silly Scots git!
Autocorrect is a place of shut.
“I’m plagued with being rabbit year vintage.”
Could be worse. My kids remind me frequently that I was born in the year of the rat.
In Washington DC, every year is the “Year of the Whore.”
"BBC News" is an obvious gag.
They are a leftist propaganda outlet, pure and simple.

Frank (Speaking to a group of local Koreans):
Now, may I have your attention? First, let me welcome each and every one of you wish you joy and ‘Cheng Yo’.
Local: Cheng yo?
Frank: Yeah.
Local: You wish us a prostitute?
Frank: I must have looked up the wrong word.
Local: We don’t mind.
Frank: I meant prosperity.
Local: Worked out the same.

If they’re happy, I’m happy.

Why do I get the feeling that the pages of the UK Daily Mail this New Year will be filled with Kardashians, Cyrus’s, Lohans, etc — all on horseback.
I’d be disappointed if they weren’t.
I’ve got more.
