Engrish Signs

If you've ever gone travelling you've probably experienced this sort of thing first hand. When it comes to sign writing, something almost always gets lost in translation. These are some of the funnier examples.

Did you hear about the wooden car? It wooden go. ithankyou! This man is called Livio De Marchi and he most definitely has wood, and he likes to make unusual things out of it like a car, clothes. He's got some good skills!

Car Poolers is an absolutely amazing photo series by photographer Alejandro Cartagena who camped out on a freeway overpass in Mexico, taking photos of contraction workers sleeping in the back of trucks. He even caught the same van more than once.

Advertising is balls. It's a fact. When you see a branded bit of content you tend to sigh heavily and attempt to block out the messages, jingles and catchphrases. It's about time someone subverted them in the name of lolz!

You've passed out due to one to many root beers and your friends have taken the liberty of abusing your comatose body. Most of this abuse you wouldn't want to be awake for but fear not, there will lots of photos.

It's good to know that the one you love can express his feelings enough to propose in public - BUT - I wonder how many girls named Jennifer drove by those signs and felt their hearts drop!

Most adverts are pretty lame and formulaeic. Not these. Someone at the creative agency has gone and outdone themselves this time and actually used a little bit of creativity. Probably the best ads you'll see all week.

"Houston, we have a problem" - I love a toned chick, but when she has a six pack and guns that would put you to shame then you know that this girl means business! Somehow i think i can predict who'd be the boss in the bedroom!

Puppies, kittens, lambs, calfs, you name it - if they are the animal world's newest editions and wrapped in soft fuzzy fur then our brain switches into mushy-gooey-mode and all we want to do is cuddle them and keep them safe.

Goes to Christina Hendricks! Thank god someone is trying to bring back this awesomely curvacious look!

As the old saying goes, "you don't look at the mantel when you're poking the fire", if you did you might drop your stroke & run screaming into the night. I guess you could avoid the horror with a brown paper bag, or better yet, a Halloween mask :(
