(Edit 11/01/2009: Further accusation of photoshopping. I’m way too lazy to do that… Here’s proof. Go here: http://www.kuro-hitsuji.com/en/contents.html and click on “Best Way to Enjoy” to see it in “normal” English. Now, go here: http://www.kuro-hitsuji.com/jp/contents.html and click on the same location – middle row, middle link – and you’ll see the same images as I posted here. I only wish my photoshopping skills were this good…)
(Edit 10/30/2009: Due to some reactions to this, I decided to add more info. This is in the Lazona Kawasaki shopping mall attached to Kawasaki Station just outside of Tokyo at a restaurant named “KuraKuro Hitsuji” or “Black Sheep”. No, it is not meant to be offensive. No, it’s not photoshopped… Really…)
Wasn’t planning on a post today but I ran into this after lunch today and I just had to share. It’s too damn…bizzare not to.
As I was leaving an okonomiyaki shop, next door was what we here in Japan call, a Genghiskhan restaurant. Yup. The same name as the general with the golden horde that took over most of Asia from mongolia. But this is one of those “cook your own meat” place but modeled after the saying that his men used to cook mutton on top of their shields. So you get a dome of oiled steel to cook your meat on. Really really tasty stuff.
But recently the restaurant put up a gigantic poster that covers their entire front window that shows how to cook the meat in Japanese and English. Now…the Japanese is standard normal every day Japanese. But the English… Oh the English. I have to guess that they did this on purpose. And whoever did this did a pretty good job with just one weird part. You have to see this.
Click on the link to see the closeups!!
It starts off with an intro…
Now you gotta get the grill hot!
Start cooking the meat.
But don’t get distracted!!
Gotta get some veggies too.
And just like Chinese food…you just start getting a craving again
…so…awesome!!

I’ll bet they hired a black American sailor from Yokosuka to do the translation.

This has obviously been photoshopped, look at all of those pixels around the letters. Never mind compression or resolution, it’s the tell-tale sign of photoshopism. Since it isn’t genuinely outrageous, it isn’t funny.
I wag my finger of disapproval at this post.
I am Jerry Wallace.

Hi Jerry Wallace. Too bad you didn’t use a valid e-mail address before accusing me of faking something. I wag my finger of disapproval at your comment!! (-_-)
See my new edit at the top for further proof of the validity of this insanely funny poster. (^_^)

Hello Honorable Admin Poster Sir. (or sir-ess)
I’ve examined the links that you’ve posted and I’m sorry to say that my doppler radar of fraudulent posting went off wildly. It appears that you are very talented in covering your tracks, as well as very dedicated. Never before have I seen a website whose sole purpose was to back up the validity of a picture, which has obviously been tampered with, until now.
I admire your persistence, but the integrity of this post was compromised as soon as the number 21 made it’s appearance to me. Yes, I added the numbers from the calendar frame, and I’m well aware of the significance that the number 21 represents.
You may or may not be familiar with Marcus Gulley, one of the brains behind Adobe Photoshop, so let me fill you in. Marcus was among the very first to harness the true power of Photoshop and became so good at photo manipulation that he was hired to rework many historical photos (which shall remain unnamed). Long story short, he’s well known for leaving clues and easter eggs in his work and the number 21 is one of them.
Jerry Wallace triumphs again.

Admin, who cares what people say? There will always be a percentage of people that will never believe anything. See faked lunar landing. Just ignore them.

Not sure whether it’s good or bad – ah, I’m gonna go with bad – that most of you folks are so easily amused. Did anyone really laugh aloud at this? Some foreigner put up some fake text on an ad, or someone -shopped it. Real or fake, it’s not funny. Sorry. As you should be for WASTING MY TIME.
CK | 03-Nov-08 at 11:21 am | Permalink
Not to alarm anyone but whether this is genuine or not – the original artwork will have probably been done in photoshop or something similar anyway – so what’s your point!?
DWax | 03-Nov-08 at 6:13 pm | Permalink
Jerry Wallace,
I am very suspicious of your accusations. A google search for Marcus Gulley and photoshop turns up no valid results except for this very page. I don’t know if Marcus Gulley even exists. I looked on Adobe.com and there is no mention of Marcus Gulley there either. Also, the numbers adding up to 21 indicate nothing except that a week is seven days long and 1+2+3+4+5+6+7=21. And it would be very hard to photoshop a large picture with all of the panels to look exactly the same as individual panels from a different point of view and most likely different focal lengths judging by the distortion in the upper picture from a wide angle view. I also seriously doubt that anyone would create a website just to back up the validity of some pictures on a blog. These things cost money.
Respectfully,
Dexter

Just so you people are aware, Jerry is a troll, claiming something is photoshopped it troll bait, he knows it’s not photoshopped, it’s a meme born from the butthole of the internet known as 4chan.
Phil E. Drifter | 14-Nov-08 at 3:04 am | Permalink
Then you can call me a ‘troll’ too, ‘guy,’ if that IS your real name, because this is totally photoshopped; I would know, I’ve seen a few photoshopped images in my day.
Lav | 14-Nov-08 at 7:20 pm | Permalink
Honestly, people just can’t appreciate anything these days. It’s posted for humor so we can all get a good laugh, and he even backed it up with valid proof and everyone is running left and right accusing him of photoshopping images.
Even if he did make that website up all the more power to him to be able to do so just to pull a prank. -.-;;
And if you don’t find it funny or think it’s shopped just don’t post a comment, it’s not appreciated.

Suddenly everyone is behaving like some authority on photoshop when they don’t even have a decent portfolio. Grow up people… visit the world sometimes, thats how engrish.com started.
Maybe i should go around claiming the comments posted by other people as impostors.. that would be fun.

Is this a fakepost? You posted a link to the real translation, not these fake “translations”. They’re clearly not the same. If it is a fakepost, then you got me. Kudos.
