Well, we aren´t back in 1977 or for that matter everybody is living in the UK. Or this place is the KLT++ shit forum. Where if you say shit in the English part of the forum, then you will get a friendly cunt message from a moderator who says swearing is not allowed, please put in asterix, instead. Where it is perfectly fine in the French session saying merde, which means the exact same thing. And to make it worse, before the censor philter was removed, there you could still curse in any fucking language other than English. So please with sugar on top, and icing. Say bollocks, shit cunt and fuck, without censoring yourself, even though it is considered dirty words. Instead of being threatened of being banned for cursing in your own right. So say the words out and proud. Since it should not be prudent like here around where the second edition of the Danish dictionary, there the word analsex, has been replaced with "analerotics" which I have never ever heard being used by any one . It is called analsex for a reason, it is an intercourse which goes through the anal cavetivity between two consenting adults. Whether it is mutual, is up to the partners to decide, not us. So I would say analsex any day of the week. But I wouldn´t say "analerotics". or the real Danish word, analerotik.
They forgot to add "Now with MORE delicious lead paint!":lol: Back to the point, engrish goes to show you what happens when foreign people and brands try to sound cool but end up fucking it up cuz they're too ignorant to know how the lenguage works. And its not just english: once you learn spanish you'll notice how retarded non-spanish people sound when they try to talk in that lenguage. Things like trying to add an O at the end of any word to make it sound like the spanish equivalent, or repeating shit like "chinga tu madre", thats a mexican insult, and only works with mexicans. If you tell that to a spaniard, a chilean or an argentinean (to name a few that are far away from mexico) they will either tell you something along the lines of "what the fuck are you talking about?" or just mock the shit outta you. And french too: I'm not fluent on that but I can understand a few things, and when Penn&Teller gave people a cheap wine labeled "Chateau de Cul" I knew immediatly it was "Castle of Ass" yet I was surprised that the idiots at the restaurant didnt knew cul is the french word for ass, specially with all the french porn sold in america. And with chinese/japanese you just have to go to the nearest tatoo parlor to see how people get asian ideograms all over their bodies without even knowing what the fuck they mean. In fact I think britney got one that said "stupid bitch" or something like that, then got it removed. I know, the slut is an airhead, but are you going to tell me she couldnt afford a translator before she got the tatoo? plus she represents most of todays youth (yeah depressing, I know...)
I suspect people take things a little too seriously, i.e. the Sex Pistols thing was actually just a joke and I tend to use asterix really as a bit of a joke as well, but I do tend to self censor just in case people have kids roaming about in the background actually - like me. Frankly, it might not be 1977, but there is still no need to use some of the language you have as there are definately people who would take offense to it.
lol, the coaches at my High school did this: "Go get-o the Ball-o!" I don't think they realized how racist they were being, but whatever. Speaking of that, I found the episode of All in the Family where Archie is in the unemployment office hilarious. He was trying to speak to a Spanish guy and ask him if he could borrow a pencil. "Um...I need a pencil. Ya got one?" "No comprende" "Um....I need a.....pencilito." "No comprende!" "Ugh....Forget-o" :lol:
Of course people will take offence, but seriously think about it. I know the words are "bad". But censoring yourself all the time is a joke. say fuck, shit, arsehole, bollocks , eucolonics , but not all the time, and putting in Asterix would be funny, if it was But since it is not, and you won´t get banned for cursing here on the forum. So curse here, and don´t be a damn prude. Sometimes I feel like we live in a world which is more backwards than the opposite. And I know the words are dirty, but don´t have double standards about them. As a child, I also knew how to speak a nice language and a bad language. But I didn´t have double standards about it. In Penn and Tellers Bullshit, there they told , that the person who made this joke went to prison as the last person for sayng profanities. George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words The big seven words you weren't allowed to broadcast were: Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits. Here is the original Carlin comedy routine that caused the Fracas. "I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have really. We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them. There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions. And words, you know the seven don't you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list. Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people's feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list...like cocksucker and motherfucker. Those are...those are heavy-weight words. There's a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K's. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. CocksuckerMotherfuckerCocksucker. It's like an assault, on you. So I can dig that. And we mentioned shit earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. Piss and Cunt. The reason Piss and Cunt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said 'Those are the two I am not going to say. I don't mind Fuck and Shit, but P and C are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you fuckers, I am going to tinkle now.' And of course the word Fuck. The word Fuck, I don't really...well, this is some more accidental humor, but I don't really want to get into that now. Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the word fuck is an important word. It's the beginning of life, and, yet it's a word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I have said, I'd rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to substitute the word fuck, for the word kill in all those movie cliches we grew up with. 'Okay Sheriff, we're gonna fuck ya now. But we're gonna fuck ya slow.' So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' rap on that word. I hope so. Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and Ed and Johnny, I mean it's just impossible, forget those seven, they're out. But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? 'And the cock crowed three times.''Hey, the cock the cock crowed three times. It's in the bible.' There are some Two-way words, like it's okay for Curt Gowdy [mis-spelled in original transcription. -ed.] to say 'Roberto Clemente has two balls on him.' But he can't say, 'I think he hurt his balls on that play Tony, don't you? He's holding them. He must have hurt them by God.' And the other two-way word that goes with that one is prick. It's okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick. No, no."
Ok I have a problem with too many commas. But so fucking what ? it is NOT like I can´t be understood. So Engrish my arse, ok ?
Just the other day I was playing Wangan Midnight, the arcade version. If your opponent passes you, a message flashes on the screen that says, "Take the lead, bum off!" Bum off? What the hell could they possibly be trying to say?
Today I stumbled across some nice Engrish while searching around for info on North Korea's .kp domain, which is administered by the Korea Computer Center. You can check their site here: http://www.kccbeijing.net/

Here is one from my DVD collection. This is a Taiwanese Bootleg of some German movie, which appearently is called Atomic City in Japan. Confusing enough as it.

Whilst browsing through Yahoo Japan, I accidentally clicked on a Japanese link to some website I didn't want, but just prior to hitting X I noticed the title and subtitle. The spelling mistakes are their own; "Fourtune-telling & Marriage chance test" - made me smile. I wonder what 4 tunes they tell you and whether they just say "No chance!" :lol: https://chance.onet.co.jp/fortune/index47.html
Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I didn't feel like starting a new one. I noticed that in the Japanese release of Street Fighter Zero 2, when Sodom (a bit of an odd name to begin with) wins, or when the cutscenes play, some interesting subtitles in English appear at the bottom of the screen: WHIP I DO? WHAT SOME BEAT? YOU'LL SAME A SEND! DIE OH, JOE! COKE GEAR CAN! YOU OK?! SAY YEARRR!!
