03:09 - Time for a snifter of choicest Engrish
|
(top)  |
Chris has in his hands one of the finest examples of Engrish I've ever seen. It's a toy wind-up car from China, which flips and spins and does other kooky stuff.
Like "take the ex-round clockwise hover around", and "empress round", and "refresh the bore", and "vacillating stunt".
  
Beware, though—"play attention, you of finger, hair, clothes, etc." Jun Long Toys wants you to know that "if the car dash to piecesed, and should pass by the per son check or profession personnel maintain the rear can continue to use." Oh, and "Is not suitable for the 3 years old and the following child."
Chris showed the manual to a Chinese co-worker, and he assured us that the Chinese in it is just as bad. So there's balance, somehow, in the world.
