I don’t see the enrish or the fail, if the chinese is as intented, the english underneath has kind of the same meaning. Also, you are given a slightly obvious, but correct direction to only go left or right, not up, down, forward or backwards.
Either they suffered from a terrible crisis of self-esteem, and decided that they weren’t really super at all, or they couldn’t decide what sort of -nauts they wanted to be.
I am deeply offended by your comment, for three reasons:
1) You have misused the word ‘schizophrenic’. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not a split personality. It is instead a severe form of psychosis.
2) I am schiophrenic. IN THE MEDICAL SENSE.
3) Because I am schizophrenic, I have thoughts that don’t seem to be my own thoughts, but rather seem to have been implanted in my brain. I had one of these thoughts, and it said that, if any form of the word ‘schizophrenia’ was misused in the comments of this Engrish photo, that the Universe would be destroyed by The Big Crunch. This means that you have literally doomed the Universe to certain destruction.
Also, I get hopelessly, suicidally, homicidally upset every time someone misuses any form of the word ‘schizophrenia’. Once, I saw the word ‘schizophrenic’ misused in the book ’1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die’, and I burst into tears. I also burst into tears when I heard the same word, with the same wrong meaning, in the audio commentary for a DVD of Van Helsing. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I had turned on the subtitles, which meant that I not only heard the word ‘schizophrenic’ misused, I also SAW it.
HOW DARE YOU MISUSE THE WORD “SCHIZOPHRENIC”!!!!! THE UNIVERSE TOLD ME THAT THE WORLD WOULD END IF ANY FORM OF THE WORD “SCHIZOPHRENIA” WAS USED IN THE COMMENTS FOR THIS PHOTO!!!! DO YOU REALISE THAT YOU HAVE DOOMED THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE TO CERTAIN DESTRUCTION????
“You and your mother, Fatimeh, always thinking you’re RIGHT…”
“well, if we stopped and asked in the first place we wouldn’t be LEFT in this mess…”
*squeeky old voice behind the back seat*:”Fatimeh, I told you not to marry this incompetent fool”
OMG they got *married*? I missed that episode! Did anyone tape it? Or are they just pretending to be married so that Fatimeh’s mother won’t object to them having sex?
episode rerun 1001 pigtails:
“No no and no, Fatimeh, you’re not marrying this…this desperate hoodlum. I’d rather tie granades on my belly…”
“Oh mother, but he treats me so nicely with his crankshaft”
“Oh alrighty, then” *fantasizes of being spanked with a marine engine crankshaft, with propeller*
how? you still only have one body, so you can only go one way at once. and if you were going one way then the other way, you could do that with only one personality.
Prepare to be not-so-collateral damage, DnT. Go on, you two, you know the way. Don’t forget to get your Frequent Punner Points card stamped at the door.
I see this sign as something almost Zen. You contemplate, then sit down and meditate. You find there is no “right” or “wrong” direction… and you become enlightened. You don’t get anywheres, not in the physical world, which is irrelevant ultimately, anyhoo…
Hell with it, Grasshopper, I’m going to the forest and listen to those quiet falling trees.
FIRST!
I think this is more of FAIL than Engrish.
Agreed.
i think “first” posts are more fail than anything
Aww. I must at least try that once! Or else I can’t fully experience the culture of the Cheezburger series of sites! =D

NOT THIRD! I think you’re right..
Is this just a polite way of asking visitors to leave?
The more philanthropist version would be:
they are welcome wherever they go…
Visitors – to the left
this – on the way to the right
“And you, you duck-shagging bastard, get up on the perch here with me”. Anybody else remember that joke?
maybe the road is shaped like a U which leads to the same visitor’s center.
… Or like an “O” …
Or an upside-down C tipped over
…Or like the glyph on my “command” key. Now THAT could be an interesting walk!
The only response I can manage is “Yes, of course.”
Or we can do back and forth. But no up and down!
Just as long as you get it coming and going?
Before I proceed, I need to know which way is so mad.
The way this sign is made, that’s mad!
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
The Power is Yours!
*sings* I like it both ways…….
Whatever happened to Supernaut?
Owing to the current economic climate, their Super is gone, and now they’re just naut.
OMG! Puns imitating life! Just found out they actually changed their name to “The Nauts” before breaking up in 1980.
Either they suffered from a terrible crisis of self-esteem, and decided that they weren’t really super at all, or they couldn’t decide what sort of -nauts they wanted to be.
Could be they were just feeling naut-y.
Its for schizophrenic visitors.
Let’s split…
I will go this way, me & myself will go thataway.

Please apologise for insulting my mental illness.

Cultural experience instruction: stand here, and hula.
that’s what they get for asking bugs bunny how to do the sign!!
I’m wondering what Achmed and Fatimeh will make of this sign…
“You and your mother, Fatimeh, always thinking you’re RIGHT…”
“well, if we stopped and asked in the first place we wouldn’t be LEFT in this mess…”

I’m reminded of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz with this one…
“Of course, some people do go both ways…”– The Scarecrow pointing left and right
If you have multiple personalities, you CAN go both ways.
how? you still only have one body, so you can only go one way at once. and if you were going one way then the other way, you could do that with only one personality.
I have one word for you: mitosis.
Why not forget the whole thing and just go fission?
fission chips
I know it’s an old dreadful one, but I couldn’t resist the reaction.
Prepare to be asSALTed & battered by the DPF!
Prepare to be not-so-collateral damage, DnT. Go on, you two, you know the way. Don’t forget to get your Frequent Punner Points card stamped at the door.
Great choice of words! I just realised that a punster is literally a col-lateral thinker.
I’m going, I’m going….
that’s strange…i could’ve sworn i heard someone making pun of me
Don’t clone around about mitosis!
I WILL CUM ON YOU!
that’s the way you should go! no two ways about it!
no, wait…
There’s a trap door in one of the paths…the mad path.
Eh, not a useful sign – I was going to go that way anyhow.
.
But it is fun watching the non-visitors crashing through the bushes…
I see this sign as something almost Zen. You contemplate, then sit down and meditate. You find there is no “right” or “wrong” direction… and you become enlightened. You don’t get anywheres, not in the physical world, which is irrelevant ultimately, anyhoo…
Hell with it, Grasshopper, I’m going to the forest and listen to those quiet falling trees.
ummmm…
which way???
two paths…
your move, holy man…
