- thepandoras, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35Thats no error.
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23So that's what a box of condoms looks like.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Ironically, Hole lead singer Courtney Love was packaged in a similarly-labeled box.
- CountOlaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Ironic that you spelled "commerce" incorrectly there, Chief.
- Angeliec, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19That's fantastic! "All your condoms are belong to us!"
- snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15it's for people with a sense of humor
- Poco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15"It can provide you against pregnancy..."
That makes way more sense, thanks. ??? - toddbu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Wow, an ISO standard for condoms. Who'd a thunk it.
- Dynazhen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7apparently you aren't going anywhere either.
- stretch611, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This explains why there are over 1 billion people in China...
- snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4newsflash: you're a digg user.
- pharekyz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Ahhh gotta love Engrish....
Take a look at http://www.engrish.com/ if you want to see some other funny examples of mistranslation - cappslite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What'd you expect from a short condom?
- M4v3rIC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I used to live in China, english is EVERYWHERE. They are in love with western culture, english is the international language of business, if your product has english on it (even if it doesn't make sense) people will like it.
- Marfanity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's not a mistake, it's a disclaimer. They have a recyling program. Since SixSex© Condoms are so durable, you can reuse them again and again. Homeless people pick them up and return them for a nickle.
- projectgiggles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Thank you for not blog spamming. Hats off to you.
- Justice101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You think thats funny I got a Rolex straight from China (a friend of mine went their) said "oyster perpetual cosmograph" lol
- tw0bit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I dugg it, cuz its funny, but not necessary for digg
- bonyicecream, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yeah this has been on engrish for a looong time...why is it front page on digg?
- slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha, that was going to be my exact comment.
- sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Judging from his Star of David Avatar, hes jewish. Hes already there!
- reversezer0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For those who are amused by stuff like this, here's another link about advertising nonsense (literally).
http://www.thisisbroken.com/ - Hardataq, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Finally, truth in advertising.
- Morph_Ball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1More proof that english text on east asian products is purely for decoration~
- matija, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://www.engrish.com/
- snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3you're a queer.
- republicoftexas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is that like new virus or something? Sound kinda evil.
- Vladamir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dude i love it. amazing. simply amazing.
- randomvictim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With how notorious Chinese products are for breaking, condoms would be last on my list of imports.
- sspooner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't see why you were buried on this one. I guess we have overly sensitive people here.
- sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why would you have to figure out that a label means the exact opposite of what it says... this makes Chinese look dumb, not Americans.
- CanuckPlumber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Dude, that's even better.Too funny.
- fluffyturtle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"who the ***** logs on to AOL"
Noobs who have never been on the internet before (the same people modding my original comment down). - roguescout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1At least they (well, Hong Kong/Taiwan) didn't screw up much when it comes to Wuxia/Wushu films.
The best cinema ever.
(off to watch me some Shaw Bros. classics) - AMDnVidiaATi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1LOL @ CHINESE
- Truegod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Dugg, but what is with the title and all the random punctuation? Still funny as hell.
- matija, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1who the ***** logs on to AOL
- DrDabbles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So, the condoms are too large for you then?
- Valyn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Exactly as M4v3rIC said. English is part of the pop culture here in Japan, i would guess that China is the same way. Even a lot of Japanese pop and rock songs (J-pop, J-rock, Visual Kei) have at least a couple lines in English.
- cptn_cardboard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1rofl, that's the second thing I thought, the first was "Communist condoms to scare people into not reproducing."
- tboutcher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Is this tech?
- fluffyturtle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Heh, this is extremely old, did you guys just log on to AOL for the first time today :p
- sspooner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"You think thats funny I got a Rolex straight from China (a friend of mine went their) said "oyster perpetual cosmograph" lol"
You realize it's not a Rolex right ? - HotGore, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Well no Digg users have to worry since they will never get close enough to a woman to use them.
- CountOlaf, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1If it's for the Chinese market why are they putting English on it in the first place?
Give'em credit for the number 6 though. - dakelv, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I think it was done on purpose.
- CountOlaf, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Makes one wonder what one gets with the other lines of condoms.
- AngryBacon, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Wow, thats fscking hilarious
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Engrish is cool.
