This was a triumph
I’m making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there’s no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive
I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a wonderful line
and we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
so I’m glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive
go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
maybe black mesa
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this cake is great, it’s so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there’s science to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
on the people who are still alive
and believe me I am still alive
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I’m still alive
While you are dying I’ll be still alive
and when you’re dead I’ll be still alive
STILL ALIVE, still alive
I’ve never seen the second kanji character and I can’t find it in my dictionaries either. Strange. However I found a translation for “unsafe” that uses the first kanji character, it reads buyou in Japanese.
With that, the whole text would be “buyou to fuben wo urumise”.
It’s just the font that makes the onna radical look like a kana se. For those who think this is photoshoped, it says the same thing in Japanese. “A shop that sells unsafe and inconvenient things.”
i think all of you are invidious, if you are a bunch of hot shots make your own picture in photoshop or what ever, or find them o the streets, or fake them important is the result : people having fun !
Main Entry: invidious
in·vid·i·ous
Pronunciation: \in-ˈvi-dē-əs\
Function: adjective 1. tending to cause discontent, animosity, or envy (the invidious task of arbitration) 2. of an unpleasant or objectionable nature : obnoxious (invidious remarks) 3. of a kind to cause harm or resentment (an invidious comparison) 4. FAIL-freakin-BLOG.ORG, a site where people can “just have fun” by being invidious
Did you even read the Japanese? It says the same as the English. It’s a used parts computer store. All used part stores in Japan say that. The person who put this up prob thinks it’s an Engilsh mistake, but it’s not.
You are right!
This is NOT a fail folks. This is NOT a sign for marketing, it’s a warning sign that is successfully translated into English too.
The person posting this pic failed when he/she thought this was another example of “Engrish”.
this isn’t mistranslation! it actually says inconvenient and unsafe products in japanese. they sell old computer parts. here’s their website – http://akasoft.com/compuace/
OK…as the submitter, let me set this straight….if this is photoshopped, it ain’t by me…I just stumbled upon it and thought it was fair chosty. Having travelled a fair bit in the far east, I can safely say that this sort of thing is pretty much common place. As for the whole ‘is it a fail cuz it looks like legit japanese?’ train of thought, all I can say is LIGHTEN THE F*CK UP. What is this, http://www.letsspoilanhonestlaughbyindulginginpointlessandpofaceddebatedaboutforeignsmantics.com?
Nay, I say! It is the fail blog!
Oh, and as someone pointed out, this is the tip of the iceberg…..engrish.com veritably overflows with mistranslated laffs….worth using an Internetz for.
There is no such thing as a Marketing sign as opposed to a warning sign. Everything a company does reflects the way it Markets products. If a day care said, “Pedophiles work here.” It would be a warning…. and I wouldn’t take my kids there. Thus a marketing fail.
Now I remember where this place is – the witchcraft remark got the brain working again. Going from JR Akihabara, turning left at the Suehirocho station corner and on the left near the Koban.
I think it was around 1998 when I bought 2 340mb ide hard disks (in case one didn’t work) at this shop for 1000 yen to use as scratch disks to test-install something on. They both worked.
Why do some people still insist that it is photoshopped when several people already mentioned that the Japanese says exactly the same as the English and also explained why this is.
dude. Shut the f*uk up already. Go stab your eyes with a rusty needle and the stick a flail up your ass while little children pee on your already soiled body
I’M AWESOME ! FIRST !
YOU”RE AWFUL! FIST!
STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Douchebag.
blow me.

Hang yourself looser? As in, more loosely? Really? Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of hanging oneself?
Retarded speller FAILS both for not knowing how to properly spell insults but also for lame comeback.

Ho tell everybody, even the mayor.

Famous song recognition fail.
famous for basement-dwelling emos, you mean.
You dare insult Portal?
You, sir, have incurred the wrath of GLaDOS.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me?

Your failure is awesome.
WOW argument fail. All of you.
FIST!!!
douche
You’ve been warned…
Furthermore, what language is that? It looks like Japanese, but I’m not sure.
It’s Japanese.
Okay. Just making sure.
Also, YOU RICK-ROLL’D ME!
*facepalm*
“不安(fuan)” means “uneasiness”.
“不便(fuben)” means “inconvenient”.
Must be a Microsoft store
Witty. But please to god don’t start another Mac vs Micrsoft idiot convention.
You’re right, we don’t want to get the fanboy this fanboy that ball rolling. Fail @ myself for giving that a potential stage
WHAT??
.. so it is not a microsoft store,..???
and its probably not a mac either, ay??!
THEN it must be a linux store… i heard they are really bad… and unsafe and the lot…
horrible…
and nobody thinks about the kids..!!
dont be hating on linux, it runs yur gaming servers
Wow talk about ignorant.
Yeah, I knew someone wouldn’t understand how not to look like an idiot.
I think Vita is undercover for Windows. You may drop the ’s’ Vista, but you can’t fool us all!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD
photoshop.
So’s your face.
Photoshop fail, then?
it actually does read what it says in the english translation; they’re just trying to poke fun and be sarcastic.
ZOMG FOTOSHOPED!!!!!!11oneoneone
I think fhqwhgad is right. No body has ever seen a joke sign before?
“Beware of Fish”
“Slow Children: 10 Points”
“Shoplifters will be fed to dragon.”
I’ve never seen the second kanji character and I can’t find it in my dictionaries either. Strange. However I found a translation for “unsafe” that uses the first kanji character, it reads buyou in Japanese.
With that, the whole text would be “buyou to fuben wo urumise”.
the first word says “fuan”. try to look that up.
It’s a really unusual way of writing the “an” in “anshin” It’s this: 安
It’s just the font that makes the onna radical look like a kana se. For those who think this is photoshoped, it says the same thing in Japanese. “A shop that sells unsafe and inconvenient things.”
It looks like the normal way to me
Reading Japanese FAIL
Thank you so much for that information.
Hafさんの事象は「安い」だろうか。(笑)
辞書でしょう?
もうちょっと日本語を勉強するの方がいいね?
It’s “Fuan” > 不安 just in a stylized font.
Means more “insecure” or “anxious” than unsafe, though it could be interpreted as unsafe, in an emotional well-being sense.
it really does look like it has to be photoshopped to me.
Something like that just can’t be for real.
have you lost your grip on reality?
fly me
are you completely without a sense of humor?
blow me
you dont get out much do you
Truth WIN!
go to engrish.com, this really isn’t all that amazing. shit like this is all over the place
Except that this one is a totally accurate translation of the Japanese.
CompuAce with inconvenient products? Finally, a computer software manufacturer with a “no bullcrap” advertising policy.
oh so tru
can’t you all people just have fun …?
i think all of you are invidious, if you are a bunch of hot shots make your own picture in photoshop or what ever, or find them o the streets, or fake them important is the result : people having fun !

I LIKE THE b33tsech
fhqwhgad is right.
This is their website. http://www.compuace.jp/indexp.html (Japanese only)
Oh those Japanese and their engrish, gets me every time.

No… It just says marketing fail. Which it is, and/or “honesty win”. Both of which I find humorous. Nice Post.
As I already said. Not a marketing sign, a warning sign…thus not maketing fail.
some people already pointed this out but..
this isn’t mistranslation! it actually says inconvenient and unsafe products in japanese. they sell old computer parts. here’s their website – http://akasoft.com/compuace/
EPIC FAIL LOL
EXTRA EPIC FAIL
SUPER EXTRA DOUBLE DONKEY FAIL
Soooooo…CompuAce is CompUSA’s Japanese branch?
OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED!
I think it’d be funnier if it weren’t for the “MARKETING FAIL” macroed on the image.
there are some signs in England which say “children please drive carfully” and the legal driving age is 17
The best part is the single quotation mark at the beginning of the last line.
How true.
Japanese are so upfront about their products…
Although they would get business cos people like a bargain.

you misspelled semantics… LOL
#100!
Geez…definitely had to skim through a lot of nonsense…. =P
Um, photoshop? I dunno it’s hard to tell these days sadly

The Japanese words actually says what is said in English.
The submitter automatically assumed that this is another “Engrish,” for lacking lingual competence in Japanese.
This is a real sign. I used to shop at that store in Akihabara (inside Tokyo, Japan) all the time.
Cheapest places to get cables, connectors, etc.
The store was 1/2 computer parts 1/2 modern witchcraft store. I swear this to you!
If I get around to it, I’ll post some pics of it later.

I think it was around 1998 when I bought 2 340mb ide hard disks (in case one didn’t work) at this shop for 1000 yen to use as scratch disks to test-install something on. They both worked.
failblog.humor.FAIL — that sign says exactly the same thing in Japanese as it does in English. it’s a joke, ne.
Why do some people still insist that it is photoshopped when several people already mentioned that the Japanese says exactly the same as the English and also explained why this is.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MADE YOU LOOK!!!!!!!!
Write that in russian and you get “Win”. People like buying beta versions.
dude. Shut the f*uk up already. Go stab your eyes with a rusty needle and the stick a flail up your ass while little children pee on your already soiled body
