Japanese Truth-in-Advertising

Sometimes it’s the little things that make me laugh here in Japan.

Today, it’s Japanese Truth-in-Advertising.

I just stumbled across an engrish school west of Yokohama called the “Poop English School.” That is, it sounds like the SCAT Engrish School must teach about animal scat (excrement) or bippity-bippity-doo-wop-razzamatazz-
skoobie-doobie-bee-bop-a-lula-shabazz scat singing.

You can find the school in the first and third listings in Google Japan, as it would be a shame to embarrass the school with a direct link. As they say in Japan, “After doing your best, happy poo awaits.”

   Shhhh…
   We shouldn’t talk too loud. The Japanese owner of the school might figure out why he’s getting so many hits on his sleepy engrish website.

   Hmmm “no-pan” (ノーパン) panty-less English classes would make the education more lively.
