Well we kind of deserve it... However many youngsters do you see with tattoos of Chinese or Japanese or whatever Asian symbols who think they know what it says but it's actually not at all what it says and is usually something very obscure, making anyone who speaks the language be like, "uuh, what?" lol

I think my favourite Engrish shirt is "Grandpa F****n Spaceshuttle" (http://adult.engrish.com/2006/11/18/grandpa-rules/)

Everytime I see articles like this one, I wonder if Japanese or Chinese or other non-alphabetic languages nationals do the same thing; take pictures of badly translated tattoos written in their languages and post them onto social media.

Well, one has to be consistent not to be a hypocrite. If you agree that taking some random tidbits of foreign culture without understanding what they are just to make something seem cool is fine, you have to deal with a fact that the same will happen to your culture. If it's not a big deal for you, it's not a big deal for others too.

#2 isn't badly translated. It's just the truth.

In Japan I saw a sports car with the words on the back window "self burning." I realized they meant to say "I'm hot," although I find what they put to be unintentionally much more poetic and intriguing, the way a number of the t-shirts are. I spent a week in Japan and became a bit obsessed with finding funny, bad English.

There needs to be morrrrrre

Still amusing though.

My friends lived there in the military. They had a little step stool for their children with rain drops painted on it .....it should have said "rain rain" but said " ran ran"

This is real. I just came back from China and they have the weirdest english writing ALL.OVER everything

The Japanese describe distances in such a way that the 'Really Far' shirt makes real sense, from a Japanese viewpoint. They have three ways to describe distances, whereas westerners normally only have two. Koko = close Soko = far Asoko = really far.
