So, I've never actually gone to engrish.com, but I've had friends tell me of its wonders...
Well, I was reading stuff at rusty lime (or something?) and there were all these images from engrish, and I nearly died of laughter. And I'm in my office. Oh crap. -
Some people like to eat Dolphin
I certainly don't of course. Too flippery and funny and such...
But this article might offend some of you, while intrigue you at the same time: Filmmakers outsmart dolphin killers: Secret film will expose Japan's brutality. There are some graphic pictures. So... beware?
