Fire the Translator: 10 Crazy Bad Translations

TresSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:20:00 -0700

I've traveled to foreign countries, making locals scratch their heads when I try to speak their language, and I've also failed translation exams in college. So although I can't exactly say I have a command of foreign languages, I know a so-awful-it's-awesome translation when I see one. So without further ado, let's end International Translation Day with a bang!

Bathroom Etiquette for Dummies

GiggleSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:01:00 -0800

People may say that the news has gone to shite, thanks to all the negativity in the world, but disposing our daily papers down the commode is a bit much, no? There's a fine line between being a dumbass and a royal pain in the ass. The folks who prompted the need for the following signs have clearly straddled that line and popped a squat. C'mon, who - besides this dude - uses a toilet bowl scrub brush as a hair brush?

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Advertising

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0800

When the going gets tough, the tough get desperate. The only thing these signs advertise is a need for new management. Who makes the professional decision to give his own laundromat the nasty reputation of "skid mark central"? I think I'll air my dirty laundry elsewhere. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Do Not Lick!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:00:00 -0700

People may be mindful of what they put in their mouths, but judging from these signs, they're a little more lax with where they put their tongues. We are what we eat, not what we lick- so what's the big deal? Take a look at what folks have been slobbering on lately. It's quite frightening...

Graffiti Fights Back

GiggleSugar — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:00:00 -0700

Beyond the neat-o lettering and intricate designs, graffiti can be surprisingly insightful, sarcastic, practical and funny. So is it always such a bad thing? Judge for yourself.

Crazy Logos

GiggleSugar — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 11:29:52 -0700

I can't help but think that designers do this stuff on purpose. But I don't know if I want to look like that eating a sausage, nor do I want the full service treatment at the dentist (see below).

Ambiguous Signs Decoded

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 14:00:00 -0700

I thought the purpose of a sign was to make an announcement or instruct people how to act in a given situation. So what's the point of posting a sign that's completely ambiguous? I haven't a clue what it's supposed to convey--but someone else had an idea and was kind enough to spell it out for us (see below). Knowledge is power, which is why we should all know what to do the next time we set ourselves on fire.

So it's not a typical GiggleSugar "Sign Language" but its message is loud and clear. (Hey cheaters, sleeping on the couch or being kicked to the curb aren't looking so bad, eh?)
