you know how a lot of stuff we own have foreign letters imprinted on them?
Well, I find it incredibly humorous that most of them don't make sense. For example, I have a lot of stuff from China. My mom brought this jacket here that has a tag saying: Mouth Valley. When my friends went back to China, they took these professional pictures, and one of them had a shirt on with the letters "little girl" imprinted (she was 15, not that little), while the other had the picture background saying "... I love you, I will forever remember you, you are my green grass..." ps. they remind me of some inappropriate stuff... mouth valley... little girl... ok.. i have a dirty mind. |

Maybe they just use freetranslation.com to translate instead of hiring a professional translator to translate for them. I guess the factories are cheap.
My mom doesn't understand why I don't buy clothes in Taiwan. Mostly it is because every single shirt/pants/shoes/purse/whatever is either fake or has weird English writing on it. It is very hard to find something normal! Yet, they do make US clothes. Maybe when someone tells them that the whatever is wrong, they change it and send the good ones to the US. Being the cheap people they are and to find a clever way to not lose so much money, they probably send the wrong ones to the little thrift stores, in an attempt to sell them. |
