Ok so if you don't google it (google image)

If you do, don't you just find it hilarious.

I mean I'm Chinese and I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they can't find someone with proper English to design these signs, especially with the Olympics and all.

Anyway, just wanted to share with you guys

Here's an example.

    Hilarious!  And you are right about getting someone who knows English to make those signs.

    and 2)  We need all the humor we can get.  

    Thanks.

  10. This is hilarious!  I've often wondered what those pictures meant...

  11. Chinese-English, and mildly amusing eg

    "Keep off the grass" translates to "Cherish the plants and flowers"
