Web_geM: Engrish
Every once in a while, something pops up on the web that even
HAWT finds noteworthy. This is the series called Web_geM,
and it's gonna snuggle you into clapping, hitting refresh
and forwarding it on to everyone you know...

Videos have dominated the Web_geM series of late, but that's before I ran across engrish.com.
Spending time overseas, you are bound to come across botched English (and I'm not just talking about the U.K.). Once in Spain, for me, it came from a wannabe-Top 40 D.J. saying something like, "From U. S. or A. Number one top hit, New Kids on the Rock con Hanging Touch." Or, there was Arantxa Sánchez Vicario who, upon wining the French Open, said, "I am feeling very happiness. I am very joy."
Well, a website has been made for such mistakes. It's brilliant, and it's engrish.com.
Like it? There's a universe of these out there.
Now, I giggle for half a second, then imagine what I would sound like stumbling through Cantonese, and I stop the laughter. Still, though, for you shallow HAWT readers, this might be hours and hours of entertainment. (For me it's minutes and minutes.)Here are some appetizer gems.
Ready for an entree? Just hit up engrish.com. You'll probably find dessert there, too.

Wow. Too funny. A true web gem.
