ENGRISH FAIL (some profanity involved).


Or should that be ENGRISH FAIR? Or perhaps ENGRISH FLAIL?

Maybe they made the mistake from misunderstanding something like "Fukin' A!"? There are times when *I'm* not certain if something is meant to be good or not, or if (as I gather from context) it's good, how. Case in point? "Bitchin'". The English speaking world throws around "Fucking" with enough abandon that I don't blame the Japanese for getting it wrong. No other nation would use something so misunderstood in advertising though... I hope.

I've seen some mangled English in some other places, granted, but none so... flagrant... as what comes out of Japan. Then again, my travel experience in Asian nations is nil. I've been to Japan and Hong Kong, but not so that I'd remember, which is no basis for any sort of judgement.
