The Joys of Engrish by Steve Caires
Welcome to the world of Engrish, which finds its greatest expression in Japanese and Chinese signs, products, manuals, T-shirts and restaurant menus. Now a cultural phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, Engrish consists of curious misspellings, doubtful abbreviations and jarring word-for-word translations. Fancy a Pocari Sweat soft drink or a Collon chocolate bar? Or perhaps you need some of that Horny face cream? The Joys of Engrish is a hugely entertaining collection of the funniest and most bizarre examples of this delightful alternate-reality version of the English language. Please make sure you enjoy your pleasant with vigor!
Steve Caires is the founder of www engrish.com, one of the most popular entertainment sites on the web, attracting 7 million unique visitors a year. He became an avid collector of Engrish while living in Japan. He currently resides in Honolulu, Hawaii.
