We all know English isn't Japanese people primary language. Are they good at it? Here are some pics on products and advertises which are mistakenly written :hehe:
Note: This thread is not meant to mock Japanese people's english or should I say their "Engrish" :hehe:

I guess this would be the inverse of "engrish". I know americans make fun of the JPNses all the time with their "Japanized english", but it can go in reverse as well. You see a lot of high profile americans (sports stars, music artists, etc.) with japanese writing as tattoo, but do they know what it REALLY means? This makes a really funny read. Check it.

If you ask me, the whole tattoo thing is dopey. It's borderline mutilation.... Bleah.
