I’m sorry, where’s the Engrish there ?
I assume it’s because it’s written in a language that STDs don’t understand. But then I’m not sure there is a language that ALL sexually transmitted diseases would comprehend. You could probably talk to AIDS in RNA, but to talk to bacteria you pretty much need a trained translator bacterium, and bacteria are notoriously hard to train.
Actually i think it’s because the exclamation mark is placed AFTER
the “stop”…just a thought
It could just be the return of Eighties punctuation.
Stop! Hammertime
I used to be a bacteria wrangler, back in the old west.
I’ve seen these ads, and I do feel this is engrish. Stop! STD. …? First, there’s the issue of what to stop. Sex? Like, restrain yourself, the girl on the billboard might be attractive, but think of how she might ruin you? Or stop infecting people if you have STDs?
Then again, there are those ads that feature cute girls saying “I’m against violence” in Japanese. So maybe it’s not engrish, but it is puzzling and in English….
Stop STD’s or this alien staring machine will become even more convex.
Stop!
STD is here and you are about to run over it.
Keep going!!! Run it over good!
PEDAL TO THE METAL!!!!!!!
GET ‘ER DONE!!!!!!!!
And now we have a scheduled speech from a Dr.
Please remain seated, our speaker today will be Dr Handle, telling us how we should always use protection.
Ladeez and Gennlemen of Engrish Funny,
It is my privilege and pleasure to address you today on the important topic of Protection. Now, I know that some people don’t like to talk about Protection – they get a bit embarrassed – but I’m here to tell you that we have to talk about it. We have to talk about it to our partners, our children and our grandparents who are in nursing homes, because Protection is important. We should be able to talk about something so important freely, maturely, and in a constructive and supportive way. We need to change the culture to a point where the first thing a couple will talk about, when they may be pairing up for intimate relations, is the importance of Protection. I like to hope that, in a decade or so from now, when my own mother has to be frogmarched into a nursing home because the family is sick of putting up with her sh!t and just wants her out of the way, when she goes to molest the gentleman in room 22B, the first thing she will say to him will be “I insist on using Protection”. Well, that will probably be the second thing, the first thing she will say will be “Drop yer strides and brace yerself, Neville”, but that’s just how she rolls.
And so, in the spirit of open and mature discussion of Practising Protection, I’d like everyone in the audience to get some practice at practising RIGHT NOW! Yes! Don’t be shy, stand up everybody! The ushers moving amongst you will distribute Protection… right. Now, I want to see eveveryone putting on those little tinfoil hats, that’s it, right, now, don’t you feel Protected? Whilst you’re wearing you little tinfoil hat, the Alien Masters from Planet Zorg are completely unable to beam those mind control rays into your brain! Remember – while you wear the hat for Protection, YOU ARE SAFE – the second you remove the hat, YOUR BRAIN IS TOAST, and they will turn you into their ZOMBIE MINION to do their bidding in preparing for the invasion of Earth, where they will ENSLAVE US ALL, so don’t remove that hat! Never! Not even for a second! It’s not safe! We must resist the evil Alien Masters of Zorg! They’ve been turning people into mindless slaves for years now, and I’m the ONLY ONE WHO REALISES IT! But here, today, we have MADE A STAND! We have out tinfoil hats! WE HAVE PROTECTION! WE WILL BE THE SAVIOURS OF HUMANKIND! After the apocalyptic war, we will be the mothers and fathers of the new human race, arising from the ashes…
Wearing a tin hat under the condom blocks the other evil messages.
But I can’t find a condom big enough to fit over my tinfoil hat. I know! I’ll have to visit the Hung Manshop…
too long, did not read.
Well, have your brain fried by alien mind control rays, it’s your choice…
Ok, I apologize for the long email. I forgot to tell the Dr. to keep it short and simple.
In summary, what she is saying is that protection is important. Usher will be coming by bringing condoms and she wants all to put them on right now.
Umm… Dr. Handle, did you bring condoms for us women? If so, do we have to put them on now?
Oops,
It took me a while to realize why everyone started screaming and running. I said Usher instead of ushers. So please, all women, calm down. Usher will not be making a presentation. I repeat, Usher will not be here.
tl;dr
I did not see that coming! I would have enjoyed being in the audience!
You’re part of the staff. Please stick around for cleanup.
Is this from “Sex Madness”?
All right, if that was too long, here’s the abridged version.
Ladeez and Gennlemen of Engrish Funny,
No glove, no love.
THE ALIENS ARE COMING!
Thank you.
Ahhhh. It all makes sense now.
Ok,
People, we need volunteers to stay and help us clean. Specially with all the rubber left on the floor.
This was an AD to raise STD and AIDS awareness in Japan. The Ad was/is located in Shibuya
Is the sign meant to warn people that the woman pictured has a STD?
The old rule was: The better the hostess looks, the more likely she has an STD.
Is that a ladyboy?
The name on the billboard is Nana Natsume. I leave it in everyone’s capable hands to do their own research… especially on the somewhat creepy shrine/apartments in Osaka.
Sometimes it’s worth it. Hey, some are curable.
Wanna play Russian Roulette? Here, this gun has bullets in only 2 chambers. Sorry, if you get either of those, it’s not curable.
I’d like to see a video of Japanese people trying to pronounce “sexually transmitted disease.” Yes, I know that’s mean of me.
Yeah, even by Engrish Funny standards, that was incredibly cruel.
My grandmother is Japanese and would also find the idea of her trying to say ‘Sexually Transmitted Diease’ to be incredibly funny. “Cruel” would be beating a Japanese person with a red hot poker until they pronounced ‘sexually transmitted disease’ in a perfect New England American accent.
Reprioritize plz.
I will confess I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce, “diease.”
And I’d like to see video of you trying to speak Japanese.
That would be 10 times funnier.
Because if it was properly written in katakana, your average Japanese person could say it clear enough you could understand it.
If only the salmon had paid attention, it might not have herpes now.
Anyone here think people watch through peepholes in the girl’s eyes, like they do in paintings in Scooby Doo?
Nana Natsume is teh hawt.
Be fair: the building is doing half the work.
Interesting discussions like always
Stop! STD? Stop what? Stupid Tie-Dye? Silly Tinted (hair)Dos? Sad Tiny Divas?
Subsriber Trunk Dialing.
Subscriber Trunk Dialing.
Okay who stole the “C”?
Rats!!
I’ve just realised that knowing that term has instantly aged me!
Subscriber trunk dialing was introduced so you didn’t have to have your long distance call routed by operators.
Std is an abbreviation of standard. Maybe we have to stop while the ceremonial flag goes by, accompanied by an old, popular song.
I was going to suggest Subscriber Trunk Dialing too, but I thought it would just get “WTF?” comments. It’s nice to know someone else remembers the 1970s.
Most towns lost the operator switchboard exchanges in the 1950′s.
Maybe so, but I was alluding to the end of use of the term “Subscriber Trunk Dialing”, which I recall was about the end of the ’70s, when the telcos decided that STD had come be accepted to mean Sexually Transmitted Disease, and the telcos started to use the term “customer” instead of “subscriber”.
Will you all stop putting dates on these posts? I’m getting older by the minute!
We’re all getting older by the minute, but for now I’d prefer to do that than the only alternative.
hang in there, it’s nice to have a choice…
I wish I could do that! I keep getting older by the second…
Try the first or the third and see if that slows the process.
Okay, now I’m lost.
Sorry about that. I got carried away with a pun that’s a bit too strange.
This is just anti-std ad … no fail
To me this is confusing and sending me a mixed message.
Don’t show me a picture of a nice sexy model with whom I’d want to spread std’s with, like Ms. Natsume or Ms. Ohura or Ms. Ozawa, show me a real ugly woman who would shrivel me right up.
Where’s the challenge there? Besides, if she was ugly, they wouldn’t need the caption.
If she looks like Ms. Natsume, the STD isn’t what I want to spread.
Actually this woman here is named Natsume Nana and she is a
Japanese Adult Video Actress and hence the STD thing XD
HAHAH! I see somone has been to Shibuya! Those signs are all over there….and by Shibuya hills were all the “love” hotels are
