Lost in Translation

[Twigg]

No ! Not the movie !
I pulled this from another forum. I had to share it with you guys.

Read the following explanation before looking at the picture!


This picture is not doctored. Most Arabs struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English.

So, how do a group of Arab protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans"(etc.) slogans printed in English?

Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English. Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired USArmy sergeant!


Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way through the Arab TV networks, but the results were "Priceless."

I don't care if it's true or not but I think it's wicked funny!

Obvious drivel, as even a minimal reality check (the signs all have the same typeface in the same size) would quickly confirm. If the fraud weren't obvious enough, there's this:

You slipping up? The last time this was posted you pointed out that "fair" in "bus fair" was misspelled

Heck, that would be EVIDENCE that an American did it - just look at some of the [non]attempts at spelling on this board!
