I Love Engrish
This is one of my favorite sites. Engrish is what you get when the Japanese try to be cosmopolitan. Using English is way cool in Japan. But, even when they know what the words mean, they don't get the cultural references. Sometimes they clearly don't even know what the words mean. For them its marketing, and it works. For us it is a laugh-snorting riot. (Some things may not be appropriate for young eyes).
