From ContactMusic:
Hit U.S. sitcom Ugly Betty is set to be adapted for Chinese TV. Chinese network Hunan Satellite TV has unveiled plans for Invincible Ugly Woman, a localised version of the Salma Hayek-produced series about a nerdy assistant working at fashion magazine Mode. The lead role in Invincible Ugly Woman has already been cast to a female with no prior acting experience, Hunan Satellite TV has confirmed. Ugly Betty, which has been a major ratings success for ABC since its U.S. premiere in September 2006, is an adaptation of the popular Colombian soap Yo Soy Betty, La Fea (I Am Betty, The Ugly One).
Well, first I thought it said “Human Satellite TV” and pictured a poor Chinese guy stuck in space having to hold a the satellite dish jussst right. Of course, knowing the Chinese that’s entirely possible.
The other thing is with a name like “Invincible Ugly Woman” you just gotta expect fight sequences with poor English dubbing. Like the episode where “Invincible Ugly Woman” fights “Gay Lightning Peon” or has sex with “Mythical Desperate Man”.

Man, I think I should try out for “Mythical Desperate Man”; Lord knows I have experience in that role!
