I know, I know, it's not PC, but these two pictures [io.com] were too good not to share.

Anyone out there have other good examples of linguistically-challenged furiners?

That Engrish site made my day, as well as reminding of of a great joke that tied together racism, viagra, and the 2000 elections.

Thank You.

I dunno - I thought that SA update was kind of retarded. All the "engrished" movie titles those people came up with were pretty much all the same.
I liked the bumper sticker update, although it has nothing to do with engrish. ;)

Also, did you read the conversation Momo's owner had with the guy at the pet shop? Freaking priceless. Balls!

Okay, first of all, who ever said PC was a good thing. Personally, I think the best thing to do is read copies of Hustler at a NOW convention and bring a flask to an AA meeting.

Next, where's the peanut butter?

Finally, I didn't get teh House of Pain thing except that it looked wildly inappropriatel for the big cutesy looking thing to be advertising a House of Pain. I suppose that's the funny part? Personally, I like the strip better. Give me good old fashioned broad humor (no, not the kind only women understand - how un-PC of you!) anyday.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled prepare for the weekend by doing nothing all afternoon Friday workday.

Cheers.

I recently bought some Sanrio stationery at Wizzywig, a local store that sells all things anime & has anime rentals. The character on them is "BEERchan." BEERchan has beer foam hair and a cute little Sanrio face. The stationery shows a series of pictures of him getting drunk along the top, and on the enclosed stickers, there's a few pictures of BEERchan floating in a mug of beer. On the back of the stationery, some of the pictured say "Happy San-X All Malt Beer" around them. I think this is totally wrong... and hilarious.

It would probably be even funnier if I could read Japanese. Oh well.
