Papa Smurf...LOL !
xDD
LoL,,
People writing such bullshits shouldn't exist!
You'd be surprised how dumb people can be. 🙂
They could have been written"toungue in cheek" and they may well have been aimed at getting people to look at the signs and actually read them.
Of course English as a second language, where the person writing them has little experience of the culture & idiom, are always funny.
It works in reverse as well - US advertising in South America, where a car was named that had homosexual connotations when read in Spanish
English as a second language is not the problem - I can read similar titles on the news here in Bulgarian media (TV mostly). And I wonder if I find and kill those people with unacceptable IQ for their job, then who will mourn for them?
Wasn't that the Mitsubishi Pajero?
Slang for "wanker"... 🙂
The first one was obviously sarcasm...
It's ones like the last one that I find the funniest...
Even worse was the Pajero Junior with pedophile connotation xD.
Really?! Ouch...
Given Pajero drivers actually are wankers (imo at least...) I've never looked at them the same since.
This was the Pajero Junior, which is the same car with a smaller chassis.

By the way, my father had a Pajero (the name comes from a feline in South America http://imgur.com/4IrebYw ) because he bought the car abroad, while here in Spain the name was Montero, and if my memory doesn't fail in UK the name of the same model was Shogun.
And the last one, even "pajero" is OK for "wanker", the propper word in Spanish would be "pajillero", at least in in Spain.
