A special type of curry involving two shards of glass and a left testicle of any mammal closest to the restaurant.
Also a sexual position involving the same apparatus.

I really don’t think that it counts as a fail if it is put out of context or in another language that looks like something stupid in english (like the Universidade del Moron or somesuch, posted a while ago). These stuff actually make quite some sense or have no funny connotations in its original context. The failblog team should research this stuff up to make sure, and that’s without counting the photoshopped and the fabricated stuff.

A fail implies actual inadequacy on the source in some way. If a fail is due to poor translation to english, no problem, if using a foreign language in which a word or two looks like something funny in english then it’s not the source’s fault, or are you saying that everyone in the world should mind the english significance of everything they say or write when they’re not using the language? The internet is a dangerous tool, and even small stuff like this can snowball into something big if the wrong person stumbles at it with the wrong idea (the whole “Sex-Box” incident about the game Mass Effect started with such a snowball…).

And I’m brazillian. And I admit, sexual jokes are a big part of our culture, so something like that can actually be in the open (even though the joke is about condoms), but it rarely comes to rape, unless in downright dirty jokes (usually, involving the Argentinians or Portuguese, occasionally ourselves). So no, rape isn’t taken lightly in our culture, and this will stay here for the sake of protecting the poor man’s business, before any fanatical activist goes all the way to burn his establishment (I know it’s far fetched, but the world is crazy, so who knows?).
