Funny, but I’ve seen waaaaay more screwed up English than that in Japan.

Somehow it’s always funniest when it’s in a really mass-marketed product.

Good stuff..!

My frat mate from college is the English teacher for a “gakuen” (high school) in Hokkaido. He sticks out because he’s the only white dude there so he’s popular. He told me when he replaced the other Engrish’ teacher, he almost died laughing the week before as he was reviewing the school syllabus for the upcoming school year and almost every sentence was spelled wrong.
