A Smear on the Underpants of English

There used to be an open space across from the heinously-ugly "Island Club" Karaoke joint in my town. Now, there is an equally ugly wedding store. I say store because there aren't many grandiose churches in which star-crossed Japanese girls can have their fantasy weddings. So they have to buy, at very high prices, time at an eyesore like this place.

So here we have Queen's Hill. I really would have preferred that they leave the old abandoned grass lot. But this is the face of "progress" I suppose. The other day I took a walk to document the absolutely terrible English they used in hopes of making the place seem more western and perhaps Authentic? Since very few people in my town can read English, I imagine the creators of this place feel pretty clever that they can get away with this. Then again, they probably have no idea that there's anything wrong with the English here.

In the fashion of www.engrish.com, here you have a lovely little gallery of eyesores. From the very moment you step into the parking lot, you're treated. Oh believe me ... treated.

Intel at it again

This seems remarkably similar to several years ago, when AMD had a better CPU product than intel and intel was running scared. Just like before, AMD has a better product (Athlon64). Instead of trying to innovate and make a better product and let customers decide who has the better product, intel yet again resorts to blatant threats and market manipulation to get what they want. Nothing pisses me off like a spoiled corporate crybaby.
