Oh and for those of you who don't know, engrish.com has hundreds of these...you could spent 2 hours laughing.

Some good stuff. "This is not butter" is truly the best one. Kala, you're a jerk. At least Cheet posted something about the article, even gave us a few interesting facts while you just come on to mock people. You're not wanted here.

Yea, why DOES poor people be poor?

Dahlia, darling, would it be OK with you if I shared your photos in my newsletter? I wouldn't dream of doing it without your permission.

I admit that I am a Taiwanese. And I admit that there are lots of strange, funny, even ridiculous English everywhere in Taiwan. From product packages to store signs... I know lots of them are really laughable. BUT, there is a BIG portion of these products that you found "funny" English on them are actually NOT Taiwanese products. They are actually from China, etc. Well, this is FYI only.

It feels good to write.
