Asides - International fails

This is a quick post before we do a real one... inspired by the genius of http://failblog.org/ and based on some of the sillier things we've come across on our travels so far.

The first one is from a completely serious article from one of China's English language papers we found in Xi'an - the funny bit is in the middle on the right.

Astronomy Fail



The next one is a fairly typical bit of dodgy Babel-fish work in China, but seriously right outside the teracotta army you'd think they could get a proper translation done...

Human cattle fail



This one maybe a teeny tiny bit racist, but it made us chuckle enough to run the risk...

Building naming fail



And this one was from the same place, its not quite the perfect name... and not really a patch on the Jim'll-Mix-It cement trucks from London, but...

Slightly bad taste company name fail



And we end with a sign on the beach in Palolem in Goa, India. Wrong for quite a number of reasons...

Public order priorities fail/Should you really have to print that on a sign? fail



Thats about it for now, surely there will be more at some point.
