This along with other brilliant insights can be found at Engrish.com, a very funny website devoted to showing the world the ridiculous nature of Japanese Engrish ("L" sounds and catchy English phrases are difficult for the Japanese to master). The sillyness extends from shirts to labels, buildings to candy, signs to TV shows.

It makes you wonder, "Why don't some of these manufacturers hire one native English speaker to write their signs, shirt slogans, etc.?" It's hard to believe that in Japan, a country obsessed with English, so many hilarious and inaccurate phrases make their way onto shirts, buildings and signs.
