Chocked

Umm, no. For a while, the commercials for the Olympics have said "8. 8. 8." Or 8.08.08, or whatever.
When I first saw this date, I immediately thought of 666. Tired

You'll be amazing how many local weddings there will be tomorrow xD

Btw, 8 is considered lucky because its pronunciation sounds similar to luck. Unfortunately, in Cantonese, it's pronounced similar to "Fukfukfuk"

don't even say last time was successful either

I dunno, I gotta respect the fact they're even giving it another shot despite what happened before.

Ah my bad, I meant Hokkien. I'm always forgetting the english names for them.
The word for "eight" (八,捌) in Chinese (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (发 - short for "发财", Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat".

There is also a resemblance between two digits, "88", and the shuang xi ('double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 (xi, 'joy', 'happiness').

St0l3n from wikipedia
so why don't you just tell us what the hell is going on
