Classic Swengrish gone very wrong! It’s a christmas greeting from a major healthcare real estate dealer.
Health care real estate dealer?
My thoughts exactly.
Bad-designed logo from a company named Locum. Which SURPRISINGLY
doesn’t exists nowadays
Classic guy who thinks he’s really smart error. He totally listed 5 professions that are entirely separate in an attempt to be smart.
Classic ‘guy who wants to outsmart the smart guy but is actually dumb’ error.
You can’t count, and apparently you assume that things you haven’t heard
of do not exist.
So close and yet so far.
Locum is a health care property management company. So they are real estate managers rather than dealers.
If you need more explanations: This is the company that owns and manages the actual hospital real eastate for most (if not all) publicly owned hospitals in Stockholm (and a couple of privat ones).
I <3 Swengrish
He he Swengrish… That’s a nice word… Usually in Sweden we say “Swenglish” when someone speaks mixing Swedish and English or when someone Swedish tries to speak English but fails… Swengrish kinda enhances it I guess, then it is more related to Engrish
He he in Sweden when someone mixes Swedish and English we call it Swenglish, but Swengrish is a good word too, more related to Engrish!
LOL that is FAIL XD
I’d more say this was a win.
Well, I <3 to cum
:3
I think the name says it all.
we should totally hang out some time then…
captain weiner and cummer hanging out together…
Ummh.. I think I once watched a film called like that
LOL
I can guess what the last part says, but can someone translate the upper part of the text?
“We’d like to let as many trees as possible live – even after Christmas.
To decrease the amount of wasted paper, we have chosen not to send out any Christmas cards this year.
Instead we would with this message like to wish all our customers, suppliers and others concerned a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”
(2): a small enclosure that isolates its occupant especially from patrons or customers (3): an isolated enclosure
I love cubicles? *raises eyebrow*
I dunno which is the bigger fail.
I’m Swedish and I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean in Swedish.
It’s from the company Locum who designed this “christmas card” add. Anyhow they changed the o to a <3 and you get L <3 cum but in the logo they wrote their L in small type so it’s l <3 cum … which looks very much like I love cum.
Still not engrish or swenglish though (as it’s not a message in broken english. it’s just weird swedish.)
LOL~ cumXD
?? ? ?
Well, that is just some company saying they won’t send out Christmas cards because of the massive use of paper… But I don’t get the cum part
oh wait i think by the way it is supposed to say locum? but they accidentally made it look like i love cum by putting a heart there instead of the o
I think you might be right, it does look like it could say locum but they put that heart there. They should have Capitalized locum. xD
I think you’re right. And that makes this one world-class design fail!
Timmy, and other curious: “Locum”, the company.
Love this one, priceless!
Absolutely hilarious! Says a Finn, close neighbour to the cum lovers xD
In Soviet Russia cum loves you!
lols
comment win
sorry i mean cum-ment win
Afterwards, you’ll need a cum mint.
pedo bear approved?
C*U*M is a store in Stockholm, that sells club/rave/techno clothes and stuff like that, don’t know if this is actually from them. Doubt it, but still it’s hilarious!
It’s supposed to say locum
but yeah CUM Clubwear is a great store, I shop there! and their lingerie store MUMS (which means yum) Underwear is a nice one too!
s’posed to be locum… but yeah, both CUM and their lingerie store MUMS are great stores
A lingerie store called MUMS? Very creepy to think there are men out there who want their girlfriends to wear lingerie like mum wears….
Heh, yes, that too does end up being odd in English. “Mums” in Swedish would be translated to something more like “Yummy”, though.
)
Mums mean yum(my). Which is pronounced exactly as the Swedish world “ljum”. Which means tepid.
LOCUM is a swedish company that in this case made a nation wide advertisement campaign to let all the swedes know how much they care about the enviroinment by not sending out christmas cards due to the massive use of paper.
And to top it off they changed their logo and swithed the o to a heart in the advertisement to show everybody how much they really love the nature.
Its a safe bet that the advertisement company knew what they were doing but im pretty sure that LOCUM did’nt.
which in turn cost allot more money to do and still used allot of paper for the advertisements.
We need more swengrish, fun to see something from home for a change.
Bonus info:
In danish (nabouring country to sweden with a closely related language) the word “lokum” means bog or privy (you know, like an outside toilet with no plumbing).
Not only FAIL advertising, but FAIL company name.
SWEDISH!!!
Classic swedish
Who doesn’t! *puke*
“even after Yule”? Okay, so I speak absolutely no Swedish, but it appears to be a pornographic message detailing where Santa Claus can put his milk and cookies…
…on your face?
Depends on who’s in the Santa suit, actually…
thanks

It smells in here
Sorry… My fault.
Heehee. Yes, this was a Swedish advertising campaign. Locum was the company. The last words are “Merry Christmas and a happy new year.”
Someone didn’t think things through before this went to print…
So easily avoided by using a capital “L”…
Oooh, I’ve heard about this one but didn’t know if it really was true or just a joke. Thanks!
If you want to see what the locum logotype normally looks like: http://www.locum.se/img/logo_locum.gif
Lol, pretty bad typo there! I hope for these guys sake they’re not a company that trades globally!
Funny, my ex has a bumper sticker that looks just like that…
Why is this a big deal? I love cum too, but I don’t broadcast it like the whole world needs to know. And it’s not that cum tastes great or anything, but I just love the feeling of a guy geting all excited & hard in my mouth, looking into his eyes and then taking him over the top! Keep stroking while he jets into your mouth, tehn look up a make a nice big swallow for him! Priceless!
Attention whore WIN
phone number pls!
I’m not really into phone sex. Kinda 80’s, doncha think? Plus in phone sex, u never get the real thing. Talking is great but there’s nothing like the real thing in my mouth.
yea.. you’re right ;( phone sucks (lol)
yes please
Geez, u guys give up 2 easy. I dumped my bf last week and no one’s interested…
funny ! i actually read your blog on a daily basis . always
Best. Mistake. Ever. At first, I thought it was one of those tragic exercises in misunderstanding, but the fact that it was a logo gone horrifically wrong makes it ROTFLWTFBBQPWNED awesome.
i really dont want to know what they ment
The last part says “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”…
Well, I know what to give the composer of the ad for Christmas!
+____+
I’m ashamed of my country…
i cum blood
