Lost in translation

These mistranslated shirts from Japan are pure comedy gold

We admit we’ve never been to Japan, but we’ve certainly heard tales (and the occasional meme) about some the impressively askew captions and logos you’ll see as the results of poor translation from English to Japanese.

Well, an imgur user by the name critcraw took it upon himself to photograph his favorites while on a recent trip, and he found some real keepers. Personally, we’re rather fond of “New York: Town of Hipsters.”

Which one speaks to you the most?
