23A friend of mine had a student with a t-shirt from Singapore,
which read:
"Save this boy for sexual exploitation"
rather than "from"
I had a discussion with a youth in Asia about the English on clothing
I was laughing about how bad most the English is.
She said, "Who cares, it's just art,"
which got me thinking. Of course it is, squiggly, exotic lines that look like they have some meaning, but often don't, or if they do have meaning it's something whacked out.
It goes both ways too.
It is, at times, fashionable to have Chinese written on clothing or even tattooed, and often the meaning is bollocks, the characters are written wrong, or are deliberately fucked up.
I heard of a person having something which translated to "at the end of the day this is one stupid guy" tattooed, though he was led to believe it meant something "cool".

25my chopsticks wrapper had the following sentiment expressed:
"Welcome to Chinese Restaurant.
please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks
the traditional and typical of Chinese glorious history.
and cultural"
I'm keeping it.

Honestly think that this has the most unintended poetic potential of anything I've read today.
