Obviously, this is for the spawn of Dr Zoidberg. even the silhouette on the third check box sort of looks like him) Except that “Craw” was the mating call, so that’s a bit weird for a baby lobster..
“FUTRE”
Whenever I see suck misspellings, I assume the creator and/or lister was in a hurry to get to the kid in the bathtub. Maybe they meant:
[] Draw
[] Talk
[] Hoot
Oh, heck, if any of the people they hang around are literate, and spot the misspelling, their Sharpie will fix that right up-worked just fine on the rest of it!
See, stuff like this gives me hope that it’s possible for me to make something really horrible, and that no matter how horrible it is there will be somebody out there who will think it’s the greatest thing in the whole history of things, and will gladly hand me cash for it. I’m convinced it must be true.
The only thing positive about this is that any kid who wears this is too young to read and realize how stupid their parents are for buying it in the first place.
It always pains me to know that people who speak English, North Americans in particular, seem to be the ONLY people in the world who don’t even have mastery over their own mother tongue. How is it the average European can speak and write flawlessly in at least two languages and we can’t even master one? EducationFAIL. Or NorthAmericanIQ-FAIL…. take your pick. Really, it is uberembarassing.
@priceless, I hear you–but then again, many Americans are that way because they can squeeze by on speaking colloquial English.
It’s less of the case in Europe, where they depend on tourism, intl. business, or simply that nobody will learn their language (such as Finland). A few others nations, whom I won’t name–are often resistant to learning a second language. Oh, and a certain province in Canada too. Probably obvious, huh?
Yeah it’s a problem in Canada too, Snarkey. Yeah, ISUS, we all know who you mean… if the Star Wars WW11 piece is any indication, obviously HK knows quite well too
I could let go of the second language thing but to not even know your own language. It just speaks of the ignorance, laziness, and malaise we tolerate here and to some extent, even promote. What I am getting at is we’re going wrong where most of the world hasn’t and I would LOVE to see a little reversal…
First off, why is it always North America that gets the only “bashing” when it comes to lacking speech? Doesn’t anyone know that there is the same growing problem in places like Japan, France, Uk…there is even slang in Finland! *Is half Finnish*
My goodness people, NA is not the only country lol but for some reason it is always the only target and complaint.
