Ok, this is kind of a mean site, but it's funny nonetheless!

Engrish.Com

Basically exploits some grammatical screwups on Japanese products, buildings,etc...

<< The author of the instructions apparently didn't know how to spell &quot;hook&quot;,
so I suppose he tried to sound it out. There is no &quot;hoo&quot; sound in
Japanese. The closest is something like &quot;foo&quot;, which generally gets
transliterated as &quot;fu&quot;. As for the &quot;k&quot; sound, the author apparently
decided that in this case &quot;ck&quot; was more likely to be correct than just
&quot;k&quot;.

So the end result of all this was that the instructions contained the
sentence &quot;Fvck the phone.&quot; For the Americans in the office, it was good
for about ten minutes of barely-contained laughter. >>


ROFL!!!


<< I was in Bangkok, Thailand one day when I saw a beautiful young
woman wearing a T-shirt that read &quot;I trusted the government, now
my dick glows in the dark&quot;

I asked her if she read or spoke English, she said no.
I didn't have the heart to tell her what she was wearing. >>


LOL!!


<< Outside an ice-cream parlour near Roppongi: &quot;Please leave a pet outside&quot;. I
didn't have one to offer but was permitted to enter anyway. >>


HAHAHA.


<< Hotel Guest Service Pamphlet:
&quot;You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.&quot; >>


YEY-UH!!


<< &quot;Darkie&quot; toothpaste with a picture of a Sambo-look alike on the box. >>


:Q OMG!!!! :Q


<< I have a child's bank that, when you put a coin in it, it makes an &quot;alien&quot;
woo-woo sound for about 10 seconds. The top of the box states:

&quot;GIVE ME COINS AND I WILL ENJOY YOU&quot; >>


FOR ONLY COINS YOU SAY?!?!


<< I had to tell you of the absolute funniest bad English I've ever seen. It comes
from a Japanese commercial (God, I love those) advertising what looked like an
individual-serving pizza, called, of course---Funky Egg. The best part had to
be when a Japanese girl, wearing a white &quot;Marilyn Monroe&quot; type dress that was
blowing around, declared, &quot;It's funky!&quot; and then the picture cut to a shot of
two laughing girls holding a giant vibrating egg. The announcer: &quot;Funky Egg! It's
the best!&quot;

I'm sure it is.

<<
Funky Egg! OF COURSE!


<< In the mid 80's Bandai made a fortune-telling robot named God-Jesus. >>


NIIIIIIICE.


<< &quot;The Bunnies are very gluttonous. Why don't we put our
favorite flags on the omelets? Good Tasty!&quot; >>


Couldn't have said it better myself!
