Ah...memories. I lived in Japan for a couple of years in the late 1980's early 1990's. Some of the stuff they come up with is priceless.

 

My favorite was a t-shirt worn by a 5 year-old girl. It had a picture of a puppy in a doghouse and the caption read:

 

"Come to my house and do me."

 

LOL. Good times...

It's funny how it's considered "cool" over there to wear shirts that have words in english written on them. When I was in middle school there were some exchange students that came from Japan and they wore shirts that had random, misspelled english words on them. It's kind of like the japanese character tatoo over here. "Dude, it means tranquility in Japanese!!!" :rolleyes:

I've lived here in Japan for all but 8 years since 1983, and I've seen the English language comically assembled beyond belief many, many times.

 

Here are a few from corporate blurbs and ads:

 

We love green spirits.

Commitment showing our happy element.

Let's enjoy casually swirling epoch.

The occasion of shifting sooner considering rough passionately.

 

And my all time favorite:

In fat white letters across the breast line of a turquoise t-shirt worn by a perky 16 year old cutie: M I L K

Korea has some wonderful use of English as well:

 

Slogan for fried chicken restaurant:

To good for have some happys life ...wellbeings food

 

Popular T-{censored} for teen girls and 20 somethings:

CHOOSE JUICY

 

A simple but classic T-{censored}: It has a backround picture similar to the Hot Wheels logo and says in block letters "Like a Machines"

 

Guitar/Bass site:

"Can have for the make traditional genre and for the modern sounds time"

 

that Japanese Tatoo comparison is funny as well

AWESOME!! great example of the strange ideas about the proper use of 's' in Asia....in Korea I think it comes from schools insisting that Koreans teach grammar and foreigners teach speaking/writing etc.....

 

quote from Korean teacher at my school on her way to teach a grammar class...."We will playing cards game today."

 

 

........oh the papers I see
