#7.
The Jeff Foxworthy Estate

This mess of tacky trailer homes isn't a Photoshop, but it's not a living complex either. It's a set for a play in Amsterdam. We were going to question the sense of using a trailer park for Anton Chekov's Ivanov, a 19th century Russian tragedy, until we read a synopsis. The play features down on their luck peasants, gun violence at weddings and a main character who's deep in debt and has some spousal difficulties. The only thing missing is stock car racing.

#6.
The Miracle of Creation (During God's Teenage Years)

It's a real iceberg shaped like a pecker. We're going to leave it at that.

#5.
A Water Park Designed by MC Escher

What sucks about magic is the tricks are always incredibly lame once you know how they're done. This one is no different: it's supported by a pipe running up through the water.

#4.
If a Million Raccoons Rummage Through a Million Trashcans...

From the "holy shit that must have taken forever" category, this sculpture is by some inventive artists making shadow art using garbage, carefully positioned to form the silhouette. We're sure the rats living in the pile see the whole thing as evidence of intelligent design.

#3.
Home of the 404 Burger

Something this groan-worthy can only be real. A photo of this restaurant in China made the rounds over the summer during the Olympics.

Apparently restaurants there made a big push to get English on their signs to cater to tourists, but at least one business didn't have a single English-speaking friend they could ask. So they plugged it into Babelfish and ... you can imagine the rest of the story, which must involve at least one sign company who just didn't give a shit.

#2.
Actually, a Translation Error Would Have Improved This One

Man, just imagine all of the uses. Wait, do dogs even sweat? We smell bullshit here. This is actually a spinoff of a popular Japanese drink called Pocari Sweat. We don't know who Pocari is either, but we're going to go ahead and assume he's a Sumo wrestler.

"Our Top Notch Security Will Find the Cock in Your Luggage"

If you're not sure what's so funny about the above image taken from a public Birmingham International Airport report, look in the lower left hand part of the suitcase.

The document is still available on their website, (Click 2007-2008 Report) though you'll notice the mechanical dick has been crudely photoshopped away, in a bit of revisionism that reeks of Stalinism.

The french tarps are f*****g hilarious. I wonder how in the hell they get those on and off.

The Japanese bottle of "Pet Sweat" isn't Engrish at all. The Japanese writing right underneath it says, literally, "Petto Suwetto", which is as close as Japanese can come to writing "Pet Sweat".

I translated the text cracked wrote for #3 into chinese, and back. I came up with some odd results:

"Worth only some of the moaning is real. Photos of this restaurant made the rounds during the Summer Olympic Games.

Obviously there are great restaurants to promote access to English for their signs to meet the needs of tourists, but at least one English-speaking businesses do not have a friend, they may be required. Therefore, they inserted into Babelfish and ... you can imagine the story, it must include at least one of the company who just signed did not give a dog feces."

I then had the idea to translate the description for the Pet Sweat photo to japanese and back. I'm beginning to wonder about google translate:

"Man, please use the imagination. Wait a sweat, or is the dog? Here lie the smell. This is actually a spinoff of the popular drink in Japan is called Pocari Sweat. We either do not know who I Pocari, and go on ahead, he would assume that the sumo wrestlers."

Thanks to a commenter in the "Translate Server Error" link for the idea.

The rabbit is a Flemish giant. You can pick one up for like 30 bucks at a rabbit show. They are pretty awesome. One of my friends had one that was 24 pounds and 3 feet long from head to tail.

that "levitation" trick that the street performer does is very similar to the levitation thick performed by a cretain order of monks, if it can be adapted to hang from a wall I wonder how else it could be used...
