I hope it’s not photoshopped! Where did you find that?
I took a long gander at this little fucker, and I don’t think the image has been edited. What the hell do I know though.
Nah, it ain’t edited. Asian folks just think written English looks cool, and since most of ‘em can’t read it any more than you can read Japanese — well, you end up with some pretty funny t-shirts.
Seriously, that shirt is not all that unusual for China or Japan.
Thats funny kid … i mean funny t-shirt of the kid…. lolzz
searching some more funny on this blog
Clearly, This kid is a fucking pimp.
nah, he’s just a Dead Kennedys fan
wouldn’t it be cooler if he did?
It’s much better that he doesn’t know. That’s the best part, well besides the oblivious teacher and little kids in the background.
“wouldn’t it be cooler if he did?”
Well, it’s the equivalent to naive people in the West who get kanji tattoos simply because it looks “cool”.
I wonder where he got it. It’s clearly made for a child.
This is the infamous use of English by the Japanese/Chinese, aka: Engrish. Go to engrish dot com and see what I mean.
The Chinese have a character that is so vague it can mean a whole range of things, so it is widely used. One of the meanings is: ‘fuck’. Hilarity doth ensue.
I’d go to Japan for that reason alone :).
i liek potatoe.

the funny thing is that they actually make kids sized versions of it.
Go DK!
This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Oh man. Sometimes you come across this kind of thing as an English teacher. A few weeks ago, one of our five year olds came into school and was pretending to shoot people with his umbrella, as little boys often do. Only thing was, every time he shot somebody he went, “Fuck you! Fuck you!”
We had to pretend it wasn’t funny, so he wouldn’t realize the true power of the word.
Anyone notice his strabismus? (Crossed eyes)
The question I have is why would they make that shirt in that small size in the first place?
i know a Chinese tattoo artist. He says when Americans come in asking for “something in chinese cuz it looks cool” he picks something random off his favorite chinese menu.
same thing i suppose. they have no idea either.
When I was a kid I my mother bought me a t-shirt with an hellicopter and with the text:
“Gulf war”
We are spanish, when my mother new what does it means, (a friend of me tell us) suddenly she didn’t like it as much.
“Clearly, This Kid Does Not Speak English”
Nor do this parents
Foreign languages look cool, you guys clearly don’t get it.
Dave: No, that’s straight up English. It’s a song by the Dead Kennedys.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_Drunk_to_Fuck
Why does he “clearly” not know? I reckon he knows. I had a t-shirt like that when I was not much older than him. The other people in the picture obviously don’t though
when i was in china i saw a guy wearing a shirt that said “Motherfucker” in big letters across the back. (it might have been a jacket)
Hah, this is really good
The real question is… Why did they sell that t-shirt in children’s sizes?
>J-Roc
Exactly what I thought when I saw it! Hey, it’s a helluva song!
I would bet it’s real. There a more than a few stores in Germany that offer t-shirts with that, as well as other similar phrases printed on them.
This is better than my photo of a 4 year old japanese kid wearing a hat that said “skull shit”. And yes, it’s very normal- I have numerous pictures of hilarious english misuses.
Hi,

For you non Punk-Rock peopole, Too Drunk To Fuck is a well known Dead Kennedys song, he’s just wearing an old band T-Shirt and being awesome.
Oh my god :S
One day I saw a Kuwaiti kid, in hospital, wearing a t-shirt with sign: DOG FOR SALE !!!!!!!!! His mom was with him! I was afraid to tell her! Maybe she doesnt know English :S

Oh really? And i guess Americans get Asain language symbols tattooed on them because they completely understand it. haha.
It is not Engrish. As someone mentioned, this is a Dead Kennedys lyric. Seems like some 80s punk t-shirt somehow made its way to that little guy.
Where can I get one of those shirts written in Japanese characters? That would look so kewl!
> This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels
It’s always the pixels that give it away…
That shirt doesn’t look terribly old…
I’ve read on a Taiwan forum that this is quite common in Asia.
I am not sure if the photo is real
Don’t just say “they.” Like, “they” don’t know English. THEY are going to take over out market pretty soon, because the worlds smartest man is sitting at his terminal, blogging.

Um. That was my point.
I didn’t recognize the Dead Kennedys song. Shame on me. So this isn’t Engrish. But judging from the context (some kind of school play?) it seems like no one there realizes how offensive this slogan is, and I doubt the kid had the DK’s in mind when he picked it out.
The reverse is also true; and worse, since people have tattoed asian misnomers.
Hanzi Smatter has a blog “dedicated to the misuse of chinese characters in western culture”

enjoy it!
Come on. English is a universal language. The parents are pervs.
My favorite part is the oblivious little kids in the background. Great find!
OMG THIS IS TOO FUNNY
Awesome.
I saw a lot of stuff like that when I was in Japan, like this: http://minami.deviantart.com/art/I-have-premenstral-tension-20191709
He’s so happy!
Yeah, how old is that kid? 6…8?
Let’s hope he’s happy because he’s drunk.
I think that just like a Jpanese tatu.
Forexample ?????It’s mean kitchen.
Haha!
that is funny!!!!!!
Ha! I wonder who gave him that!!!
They still make that T-Shirt! I have one…
If only they make a “The Man with the Dogs” one too…
dude, im asian– and even if half of asia can’t read or write english, anyone in the world knows the “F” word when they see it.
Congratulations on being asian! It’s just a hunch, but I don’t think he, or the school kids or teacher, know what it means. Just a hunch.
People should understand that children under 6 want to drink and fuck. it’s normal and has no lingual boundaries.
Mrs. Wong
Mrs. Wong i think u r too much ahead or modern thinking… do u know wat r u sayin ???
“children under 6 want to drink and fuck. it’s normal and has no lingual boundaries.”
are u ok ???
You are right Mr. Truck. I should have re-thought the statement. Children of all ages want to drink and fuck. I should not have counted out those younger than 6.
