    First!

    Dazz band lyric fail.

  2. Dan2025 says:

    What on EARTH were they trying to translate in the first place!? It looks to me like it was at least partially intentional.

    • Seth says:

      The Japanese have an obsession with foreign languages, especially English. They have a whole separate alphabet just for foreign words. They love to make up English nonsense and put it on shirts. This isn’t a translation of anything, someone just thought it would be cool to put it on a shirt.

      • Smith says:

        I think it’s just Americans who make some of the shirts for the hell of it. Though most of them are complete nonsense and random letters that aren’t intended to make much sense.

      • Andrew says:

        Actually, this photo was taken in Korea.

        • Dan2025 says:

          There goes that theory, then.

          • Joey Y says:

            No, it is a perfectly good theory. Just change “Japanese” to “Koreans”. That makes the theory (actually a hypothesis) good again.

            “My opinion may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.”

            • Reno says:

              Smart = sexy. Marry me?

            • Skuzzoh says:

              Actually, just say Asia. Used to live in a Central Asian country and my weekend entertainment was going to the bazaar and look at the chinese shirts that were being sold to girls… they said, “RAPE ME”.

              Or the plastic shopping bags with pictures of 8 year old girls that said, “LIVE GIRLS”

            • Doombird says:

              Actually, the theory is still sound, because I saw that exact same shirt in Kyoto while I was there. I thought it was the funniest thing ever and I had that nice flash of recognition when I saw this picture! It’s like knowing someone famous :)

      • Lun says:

        They do NOT have an alphabet only for foreign words. The katakana date back from ancient Buddhist monks who used only a part of the full hydeogram to write notes on their sutra texts.
        I’m sorry, but after having studying japanese language for fours years, I don’t like misinformation about that to spread. :p

      • Elel says:

        Kinda like how a lot of American teenagers are obsessed with Japanese?

    • me says:

      It looks like they messed up the lyrics to “whip it.”

  3. Jonny says:

    wtf? this is random… but amazing at the same time. I don’t understand what the original message was supposed to be…

  4. Edamus says:

    Great Scott! I’m gonna come!

  5. john k says:

    dominatrix advertisement, win?

  6. Ugh says:

    haha. I love the ones where there is an incredulous and amused person smirking at the LOL.

  7. ethana2 says:

    So do we whip it to her or hold back? I’m very confused!

  8. Geek says:

    That’s probably the same kind of thing that most tattoos say when the owner wants some “cool Japanese letters”.

    • Morgan says:

      Probably, yeah…
      And like a third of the time, Japanese people end up getting the last.
      “Hey, hey look, another biker guy who thinks he’s Japanese.”
      “What’s it say?”
      “Fish are friends.”
      Glad it’s evening out ^^.

    • Red Land says:

      Keep in mind, one Japanese character can have like 10 different meanings, and the slightest adjustment to just one thing in the symbol produces 10 more. That’s the reasoning for all the mistranslated “fuck” pics here. Plus asian languages are more lyrically/poetically constructed, so literal translations usually go pretty awry.

      There’s still a _slight_ chance that in certain context _some_ of those tattoos mean something close to what round-eye think they mean.

  9. Neil says:

    and she looks so sweet from the back….

  10. tcl says:

    me thinks the chunkily penised boys from before would like this!!

  11. Heh says:

    You can come on
    _
    .
    _
    Erm, WITH me….

  12. Heh says:

    Both of those girls ;)

  13. nobuddy says:

    Great. Now I’ve got a really strange version of Devo’s “Whip It” stuck in my head.

  14. Kismet says:

    Funny, I heard a f*’ed up version of Devo’s ‘Whip It’ when I read this, too.

  15. !null says:

    Anyone know what country this is in?

    And maybe that woman’s contact information? ;)

  16. Joe says:

    i like how that girl is pointing to the shirt and laughing…

  17. Trojanboy says:

    I am needed… that’s the signal

  18. gneiwa says:

    and a fake LV bag!

  19. allegrafuct says:

    my favorite is the other girls face. :D

  20. Shadow Link says:

    LOL, first I “got it”, then I “GOT it”. ;)

  21. Cat says:

    Maybe she is just a slut?

  22. jinx says:

    *rofl* I nearly choked on my coffee…

  23. Mimi says:

    Wow…

    Devo has been following me around for…. a a while…

    “When a problem comes along,
    You muct whip it.”

    Apparently that WAS the problem. She came.

  24. CJ Tha Kid says:

    yeah…it’s all asian countries, really…

    dunno what really started this english obsession phenomenon…

    but in korea, i saw this kid wearing a huge coat that said “FUCKIN’ FREEZING.”

    and they wear this kinda shit on tv too…

    |the kid|

  25. Nuclear Chauffeur says:

    This is what happens when hide-and-go-seek goes too far.

  26. Kate says:

    Not all asian countries. Singapore and Malaysia’s command of the english language is not that bad. I think China, Taiwan, HongKong, Korea and Japan’s english is, well, cringe worthy though.

  27. Bearycool says:

    made in china?
