  3. Rob says:

    Soviet Russia comments:
    In Soviet Russia Sign Fails You!
    In Soviet Russia Sign reads you!
    In Soviet Russia Engrish makes joke about you!

  4. Joe says:

    how very Zen

    • anon says:

      Yes, actually it is a zen temple in Kyoto and the choice of words was specific tailored to teach a zen principle. Not actually engrish, but certainly seems so.

  5. brandon says:

    In Soviet Russia, blog fails you!
    In Soviet Russia, politicians laugh at you!
    In Soviet Russia, cheezburger and hotdog can has you!

    • Blackpanther says:

      Unfortunately, the second one is actually true.

    • Natasha Bedingfield says:

      in soviet russia, cat eats you!

  6. Nukey says:

    In after Soviet Russia.

  7. Jeremie the Hat Man says:

    Well, at least life is done sodomizing me. Living me should be a breeze by comparison.

  8. Kagitsune says:

    Haha, nice title. xD I think it makes the post.

  9. Soviet Russia says:

    see… I told you

  10. MinisterofSilly says:

    Life is taking over my life. :(

    • Username Picks You says:

      In Soviet Russia, your life is taking over life!

      Wait, that’s in Soviet Russia, my is taking life of the life.

      In Soviet Russia life is taking my life?

      In Soviet Russia, taking life over your life…..

      You killed the joke. @_@

    • procrastinating student says:

      yes, totally get it.
      dOoOoOooOOoooom

  11. Jess says:

    So if life is living me, then am I living the sign?
    Then I think life is taking over my sign.

  12. ask says:

    I’m guessing the complete sign says, “Now, there is life within.” or something along that line.

  13. pat says:

    I don’t think this is from Japan… I mean, next to the translation (rly?) is ‘agora’, which is ‘now’ in portuguese, so this sign can be from Brazil. And, yes, I’m the female version of Einstein: too smart for you to understand how my deductions can change the world.

    • Detar D says:

      Actualy my submission:P
      Taken in Japan with my camera, sorry to kill your hopes.

    • PopcornGoesPop says:

      pwnt. *waits to be flamed*

    • Psychedelic says:

      “agora” is also the ancient Greek word for “marketplace”, so maybe the picture was taken in ancient Greece and sent here via time machine. OR perhaps someone in Japan wanted to point the way to a marketplace, and chose the word “agora”. No, NEVER happen — the person who came out with the Engrish for THAT sign knew the English language WAY too well for something like that to occur, it’s obvious!

    • Pffft says:

      Einstein FAIL.

      • Teh mans says:

        In Soviet Russia, you fail Einstein,
        the world changes your deductions,
        and Ancient Greek time machines send you!

        Comment injects you?

    • tissue dries itself on you! says:

      Or maybe they wanted to translate it into different languages?
      Since the first word in the sentence in Engrish is “Now” and you say Agora = “Now”…

      The language at the top is definitely Japanese. It says what it says in English as well. 8|

    • João Gomes says:

      Actually, this is most probably from Macau, which is a former autonomous region dependent upon the government of Portugal (i.e. an ex-colony which over the years leading to its formal independence in 1999 gained an increased degree of self-government) and is now still an autonomous region within the PRC. It’d be understandable that either this foto is old, or that they still have quite a few multilingual signs in portuguese over there.

  14. satchfan15 says:

    Noooo! I don’t want life to live me! I want to live life!

  15. Magus Eldred says:

    In Soviet Russia, Life is leaving you !

  16. PopcornGoesPop says:

    ….well, my fellow fail bloggers. You did not let me down. I saw a sufficient number of societ russia comments. It was awesome.

  17. Mick says:

    This one truly brings about a sense of paranoia that no other picture can really express.

  18. jamar says:

    So what happens in 2011 then?

  19. adminoflife says:

    maybe its just revisionist history where we dont attack and Russia wins.
    so
    in soviet japan engrish rearns you!

  20. Psychedelic says:

    I knew it! I always knew it, and now here’s the proof! Where they hiding the cameras? How do I get outta here????!!

  21. Kow says:

    In soviet russia, sign laughs at you!

  22. notfromearth7 says:

    In Soviet Russia, Engrish botches Japanese people!

  23. t says:

    “right now life is living you” Actually, that’s pretty deep..

  24. Random says:

    In Soviet Russia, life fails at you.

  25. Midori says:

    the full sign in japanese actually says literally “Now life is living you”. I think it was “今いのちがあなたを生きている”/”Inochi ga anata o ikiteiru”.

  26. jinxed_07 says:

    Dam soviets took over japan.
