WHY JAPANESE PEOPLE!
When you don't pay attention in English class, a simple signage fail can become hatespeech.
"F*** OFF" (sorry, i have to censor myself because google are b****es when it comes to adsense) is the brand name of the company that makes these (probably knockoff) band shirts.They have two shelves, one for local bands and one for foreign bands, but because the person who wrote this sign, like too many people in Japan, slacked off in English class. They know enough to put words down, but not enough to realise that there is more to meaning than simply using the words as they are directly translated.
The result, predictably, is somewhat amusing.
Even more so when the sign is seen by thousands of international tourists on one of the most famous tourist streets on the planet!

Random Japan Phone Snaps #4 ランダム携帯で撮った写真
Sometimes I snap things with my phone that I only ever use once or intend to use in the future but never do. They gradually build up till I drag them all off my phone into a dump folder, where would usually spend the rest of their digital eternities...
Until now.
Enjoy these random images of random times in random Japan.

Legendary T-Shirt
Out shopping for my groceries at the local equivalent of the Pick & Pay Hypermarket I came across this (and a few other shirts) with some rather interesting english on them… They were also dirt cheap so I got this one :3
Apparently the secret is in the skull… what do you think?
