Phat Photo Phiesta

Ok, I'm not trying to muscle in on turf so thoroughly tread by Engrish.com, but this week had me diving for my phone. Again, we are reminded that the true value of phone cameras is that they allow us to photograph other cultures for the purpose of ridiculing them.

First up, when was the last time your beverage promised to make you both a hero AND a leader? At only JPY 105 (a mere 2.03971 Brazilian Reais), this seemed like a steal. A strong 'nose' of glass-cleaner, a vaguely antifreeze-like 'attack', and an 'aftertaste' of oaky kidney trauma characterize this year's vintage of Osotspa M-150.

Ahh... now this little shop made me nostalgic for the days when you could ride into a sleepy rural Japanese village, pick up a few dozen strapping peasant girls, take them to Saitama, and pay them $2.75 a month to live in prison-like dormitories alternately wringing silk threads out of worm asses and tossing salad for the pervy managers.
