When I see products that have characters on them I can't translate, I play it safe and assume the meaning is "fuck your mother"...thus to avoid misunderstandings I refuse to wear any item so adorned in public. I don't understand why people get tattoos in languages they don't understand completely. But that's just me, I might be being a bit too cautious. Great thread idea; I'll get some of my fave URLs and come back.
