When Santa Gets Pissy Italians Get Funny
Posted on: Jan 7, 2009
I know, I know … Christmas is over but sometimes when you live in a foreign country (read: Italy) you see funny things you just have to share with the rest of the world.
Like, for example the Christmas present I saw last month when I was wrapping up my to-buy list.
I was with my Irish pal and I heard her gasp and say, “Now why in the world would they write that?”
Hmm … I guess someone wasn’t on Santa’s Good List this year …
What are some other funky things you have seen written in English in foreign countries? Were any as bad as this? Please share!
Never seen anything like that, who would buy it???
It was quite a shock to say the least!! LOL

That is awesome! Whoever buys that probably doesn’t have a nice American friend to tell them they probably shouldn’t.
I know, right?!?

I’m sure whoever made it had someone specific in mind! I don’t recall any products but some of the music lyrics I remember hearing in Europe (English lyrics) were crazy offensive!
Yea, isn’t it hilarious, Joe?? Gotta love those translations!

I think I said something like this when I watched the Texas vs Ohio State (my Alma Mater) football game Monday night.
Ouch. No comment … HOOK EM HORNS!

That is so funny!!! The perfect vehicle for big brother to pull little brother around in. If my nephews were still little I’d be tempted to get it somehow for the older one (even though lil bro is really a sweetie).
Ha! Poor little brother!!

I think it’s funny, but it doesn’t beat the tiny T shirt I saw on a 2 year old that said he needed sex now.
Oh my!

Personally, I think it’s hilarious! I would buy it!!! Not for my Kid, but just to have in my family room!
Definitely a conversation starter, isn’t it?
