Oh those crazy kids

[trailer to Walk Hard comes on in a Chinese broadcast]

Mom [in Chinese]: What’s this movie?

[I consider whether I want to go to the trouble of explaining parodies, Walk the Line, and Johnny Cash to them. Announcer mentions Elvis.]

Mom: He’s supposed to be Elvis.

Dad: He doesn’t look like Elvis.

[pause]

Dad: Elvis died of AIDS.

[I give up.]
