Not to get all crotchity on you, but, racist much?

Seriously. I don't put up with this kind of stuff from my coworkers. There's nothing about this that makes the inherent racism acceptable.

Had nothing to do with racism at all,and if you took it that way well that is your interpretation. If you read the discription "it what is lost in translation" and some of them are funny. And really with all the man bashing jokes I'v put on here, this offends you? And if any one reads my post I already appologized if it offended any one.

LOL some of those are great.

Happiness I don't see anything racist or other, just signs lost in translation.

Still trying to figure out what they were advertising for with the Diarehia ad though :confused:

I was wondering if they used Google Translate for some of those signs. I can't believe some of the signs were proof read and they said, "Yep sounds good to me."

There is the classic tale that a book, first translated from English into Japanese, and then back into English, quotes General Douglass McArthur as saying, instead of "I shall return", as saying, "I'll be right back"!

No perception of racism here, it is literally a lost in translation element. It happens in french, german, Maori and of course any asian language, if Asians were really worried about it, they would have made new signs or changed things, but these signs still exist, so musn't seem to bother them.

These have been around for years, thanks for posting again though Happiness ;) love it
