    First…… for the first time. And it does look like a jailhouse. Not sure what the next bit was supposed to translate as. Not dry, thats for sure.

  2. adskfjö says:

    wow, i googled it and they seem to be aware of what the name means:
    http://tinyurl.com/6e2uhp
    in the description it says something like “steel bed in jail grid design. delivery always with one handcuff…”

  3. siobhan says:

    Etage 7 seems to be selling designer furniture. They enlist this bed on their Homepage too… i guess it’s not a coincidence. Might be a niche-thing for special customers who like to get themselfes a bed with that Name.
    And as Germany is at least a bit easier going on this things it would not even cause more than a few good laughs. Maybe some uptights would geht their feelings hurt, but they will always find something to hurt themselfs… won’t they? ;-)

  4. failfail says:

    that name was chosen on purpose.

    get a rest, guys, not every non-native english speaker is stupid.

    and it wasn’t etage 7 who devised that name but the designers themselves, they’re called “noodles noodles & noodles” and NO, that name’s also not a translation fail.

    • failfail says:

      it’s a reference to “jailhouse rock” – we could start a debate now if the play on words is actually funny (which i think is not the case), but at least it was chosen in full awareness of the implications.

  5. random comment says:

    Well, at least the title is funny…

  6. adskfjö says:

    ah, obviously i could post the one with the link, it just took some time to show up..

  7. Niho says:

    Anyone ever think they might just be kinky Europeans who are really into extreme roleplaying situations?

  8. Confused says:

    It says “Glory! 17 Comment” on the page, but when I click on it there’s no comments – only the message “No comment, is make blues.” Did they all post in invisible text or is something wrong with the page?

  9. They also have a bed called Iron Mayden…
    I’d never sleep on this… too scary ^^

    But look at furniture by IKEA ;) They also have funny names xD E.g. a bath mat called “wixen” which is wank in English…

  10. Bobby says:

    Lol, that made my day =)

  11. ^_^ says:

    You can actually see something that looks like a handcuff in the picture, lol. I was curious though what piece of furniture they called bologna, are they curtains maybe?

    • ryszard says:

      Visible (if you know what you’re looking for) in the Engrish post, but *clearly* visible in the enlarged photo on the company website, is a set of police-style cuffs hanging from the headboard.

  12. roflOptimus says:

    They sell beds and bologna?

    Perfect store.

  13. David Hayter says:

    Huh, could have used one on the battlefield…

  14. Anonymous says:

    Perfect for your sixteen year old daughter!

  15. Kanchou says:

    No, they’re not the same—but thanks to the glories of Simplified Chinese, what used to be written as two different characters are now written the same.

  16. Nomad says:

    a bed MIT wheels…thats a translation fail…you surely mean a bed WITH wheels^^

    btw: now everyone knows you’re a german^^

  17. Nomad says:

    its really funny how people misuse the apostrophe XD

  18. B3llit0 says:

    Voted 1 for that stupid pointing child-in-a-panda-costume thing.

  19. Hambone says:

    Picture, a bit silly. Title of the entry–win.

  20. Jess says:

    A agree with hambone XD

  21. korindino says:

    Hmmm…. I could use one of those.

  22. Ebsith says:

    Yeah, I agree. We definitely use a lot of English words – and English curse words are *super cool* ;)

  23. Kit says:

    Fetish magazine win! … or something. Personally, that should never be a win.

  24. dekcatta says:

    Did anyone notice the bologna archway next to it?

  28. Ryan says:
