bad Konglish (installment #2)

And so here it is...back by popular demand:

BAD KONGLISH, PART DEUX!

Enjoy...

Does any part of this make sense?


this sounds like the old McDonald's slogan


I have no idea...


Please deposit your hair here.


Yes, why not?


Good for you.


It's the Oops Bar. No kidding, that's it's real name.


This is the scariest stationary I've ever seen.


Stereotype much?


In case you can't read this, it says: "Come on babe, feel me..."
No thanks.


"Sweet wit' heart memory!" Yes!


Apparently being "fresh" is a big thing here in Korea.


Not just stories, secret stories.


Gotta wonder about this one...


Yes, please be careful! You don't wanna end up like this poor guy (who has some unidentified yellow thing pointing at him in his misery).


scary looking pets there (check out their names too)


This is a little harsh, don't you think?


I've heard of Pizza Hut, Pizza Inn & Pizza Barn, but Pizza Cell?


Aww...


Surfing donuts?


Yum, rare pizza...


"It's mine!! My underwear!!"


So even after all this, we're still just talking about cake right?


Choco Pie! It's NOW!


This is a note one of my fellow foreign teacher got from a student of hers on her birthday. Konglish starts at such an early age as you can see...


Spin it!


Enough said. (I actually bought this shirt by the way.)


A shirt that says "It's delicious pancake." What?!?!?


Ahhh! My food is smiling at me!

I have to have that shirt, "I want eat you"
And that stationary looks like a schizophrenic's.
And is it just me or does that one look like the little guy is peeing out of his butt?

Hi, nice collection of the Korean Fashion Media violations.

I used to have drinks at the oops bar. It's over priced though, if you ask me. I like the effect of how they stack all the bottles against the wall inside though. I also love how graphic toilet pictures are in Korea. It's far more for their own benefit than for foreigners not understanding the writing... although I can't quite recall the last time I peed from behind. Brilliant installation. Keep it up!

(Also, if you check the delte message permanently box when getting rid of spam posts, you don't have to scroll through a list of "comment deleted"s afterward.
