Sign Language: No Psychotic Ragamuffins!

TresSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:30:00 -0700

The Oriental Pearl TV tower has a list of forbidden acts. Ummm, OK. I won't do any of these, I promise, but mostly because I have no idea what any of these acts really is. (Authorities in Shanghai are fed up with hearing that signs in English make no sense, so they're looking to redo many of them.) I hope they don't touch this masterpiece of gobbledygook! I particularly like the parts about no psychotic ragamuffins and no carrying articles that emit a "peculiar smell of effluvium." Does Paris Hilton's Heiress perfume count?

Thanks, but no thanks.

(Hopelessly) Lost in Translation

There just aren't enough translators in this world to go around - and thank goodness for that, because these bizarre foreign interpretations are an endless source of WTF and LOL. So spritz on some anus perfume and check out some of my favorite incomprehensible signs.

I kind of agree, though. We should end the use of soft dome. I've been saying this for years.

Mariah Carey Say What?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:20:00 -0700

The show we call American Idol is called Music Idol in Bulgaria. No different from AI, the Bulgarian show attracts its fair share of hopeless hopefuls during the pre-season audition process. The diva below may not speak English, but she's opted to bust her best Mariah Carey during the audition. Her song? "Ken Lee." Trust me, you've heard it. . .

"Kate" Holmes on Letterman: What Were They Thinking?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:00:00 -0800

Mrs. Tom Cruise appeared on Letterman Monday night to promote her latest flick, Mad Money. Calm and composed "Kate" looked as ~~cute~~ grown-up as can be in her black pumps and bobbed 'do. One thing I noticed, though, was her continued attempts to turn the conversation back on Letterman: "How about you?" "What's your schedule?" "How were your holidays?" "Do you cook?" It's a curious thing, but perhaps a mind reader can help us understand why. . .
