That was a good one, eh? (You know about hanzismatter.com, right?) Sometimes I've thought of making a website that's all about home-grown bad English, or maybe Engrish or Not?, to feature the nonsensical T-shirt slogans, weird brands names, and bizarre shop names that native English speakers in the US, Australia, etc. are perfectly capable of creating.
(There was this time someone on ESLcafe.com brought up "The Athlete's Foot" as example of those wacky Japanese and their awful English shop names. Sigh.)
