Japan gait
Tuesday, October 17, 2006
A design company is taking on the Japanese over their 'lame English'.
It's currently a fad in Japan to wear t-shirts printed with a litany of English nonsense.
This is one of them:
But London-based Ichikoo is fighting back.
They've have launched a range of deliberately bad Japanese t-shirts, which feature phrases like "Ignorant foreigner using Japanese to appear sophisticated," and "I eat small carpets with much enthusiasm".
The problem is that you could never wear them in Japan.
Japanese people are already convinced that foreigners are stupid idiots and the irony, I fear, would be lost.
Then again, at least we know our ACB...
