LMFAO!!!

I seen it all now!

From Dallas thugsters sporting Old English Detroit Tigers baseball caps to present day Dallas mayors showing Houston's downtown skyline in promotional videos, the city has no identity to call its own.

Sad.

Penis envy got to them I guess.

You guys are reading too much into it. They showed their own skyline 8 times through the video.

Given that the video is in Chinese subtitles, they are probably going after business in China with it.

If I were Dallas' mayor I would certainly track down the idiot PR guy who made this & fire him Johnny on the spot after I caught wind of it.

Wait till this story breaks to the DMN & local news stations you'll see it pulled off the net permanently.

Better save the evidence while you can Houstonians.

you know the Dallas posters would be having a ball too if it was the other way around.



but I don't see why Houston would want to use Dallas skyline

Yeah...I seriously doubt China cares either way, but it was hilarious none the less.

The ironic part about it is Houston has way more trade dealings with China & other foreign countries than Dallas does so that alone makes it all the more funny.

Surprised they didn't steal Yao too, and show a picker of him in the sports category.

Or maybe Brian Ching.

Does Dallas have any Asian Sports stars?

Well, China may recognize Houston's skyline in the video. LOL!
