Living in China I See The Most Ridiculous Things Like These People Who Have No Idea What They’re Wearing
Living in China I tend to come across some of the most ridiculous things. I wanted to share my experiences with my friends all over so I started an Instagram @shanghaiobserved to share daily photos of Shanghai: #dailyshanghaiphoto.
It quickly turned into something people all over could relate to and I started to get submissions from lots of different people. My feed consists of all the strange things I see on a daily basis. Here is a collection of my favorite pieces of clothing and accessories.

My daughter did some modeling in Japan when she was a toddler. The clothing company dressed one of the little boys in the same shoot as her in a t-shirt that has an image of a peanut butter cup and it said "peanut butter MF" (but spelled out). The boy's mom asked them to use a different shirt, but when the magazine came out, they'd found a little boy whose parents apparently approved. Yikes!

How could they even put something so foul on an artical of clothing intended for a child? That's just all kinds odd wrong. Shameful.

I have seen things in Asia like this -- not quite so harsh at the time. I always wondered...do they know? Fact is that most of the world knows at least a bit of English. What do Americans know? They don't really even know English!!! Much less any other language!!

You know the shocking thing about this, I bet these people were lied to about the wording when they bought them. Who would wear this even in an English speaking country. When I see people with Chinese or Japanese tats, I can't help thinking ..what does it really say?

A friend is vietnamese, and he saw a girl with a tattoo that said "ginger-fried beef"

She doesn't know what is says. This reminds me of people who get "Asian tattoos" thinking they say something spiritual but in reality say something lame like, soup or ducks *L*

I saw a Japanese girl wearing shorts with "TOUCH THIS!" on the back. I wondered if she didn't know what it meant or she actually wanted someone to grope her.

I guess, they feel the same, when they see people with chinese words as a tattoo. I`m sure there are some people out there, wearing words like "table" or "window" as a tattoo

I need that shirt, but definitely in a different color. I feel like this bright pink, besides being an ugly color, it may just make people follow you
Momogi 8 years ago
Bright pink is not ugly color, some people like it and some don't. I personally don't like it too but my little sister lovesss it.

That's what I call timing. I just finished watching the Friends episode where Phoebe sets Rachel up with someone and he ends up giving her a shirt that says "FBI Female Body Investigator".

The only way to save this shirt is to turn it into a crop top, otherwise you're just going to have to burn it 😶

I actually saw something similar in a book about war graffiti. Someone wrote, roughly translated, "better a hand on pussy than on a machine gun". It's a bit like "make love not war", just more explicit and specific.

Just like all those people with Chinese tattoos that say something completely different than what they thought/were told lol!

It does happen in reverse by the way, the Chinese getting English tattoos and not knowing what they mean. On the Beijing subway I met a girl with "government whore" tattooed across her belly. She had no idea what it meant, but she liked the letters.

I've seen some pretty stupid clothes. My guess is that a company prints something stupid that nobody buys so they resell it to Asian countries without telling them what it says and they in turn sell it to their own oblivious people.

Older people and kids can't understand, but teenagers and younger people? Come on! I live in Serbia and my 5 year old can translate most of this in Serbian (without vulgar words, he doesn't know them). The point is, not all of these people wears something they don't understand. Some of them does and they like it.
