Koreans apparently love to put slogans, words of wisdom or labels on T-Shirts, bags, blouses – basically everything wearable. Especially in English. Sometimes, they seem to get lost in translation though…. The results can be hilarious. We made it a sport to find the funniest examples of these fashion statements while browsing through Seoul’s shopping districts. Here is a selection of our favorites:
Black, White & London S*** Always. Makes totally sense to me.
Who wouldn’t want to wear this as a label on his or her forehead?
Something is not quite right about this quote….
This HAS to be the adequate response to the Shirt before. Unless you are a New Yorker. Then never mind.
Maybe I just don’t get it, because I’ve missed one or two episodes of the Simpsons – if anyone of you knows more, I would appreciate if you could enlighten me…
Is this even English? Is this even supposed to be English?
Guys, sounds like it’s time for an intervention…
Someone in quality assurance missed a few minor mistakes.
Now THIS is spot-on for some of these Designers….

I do not have a clue for all but at least for Bart’s cow there is one (source is the one and only Wikipedia…):
“[…]Hallmarks of the character include his chalkboard gags in the opening sequence; his prank calls to Moe; and his catchphrases “Eat my shorts”, “¡Ay, caramba!”, and “Don’t have a cow, man!”[…]”
Should be something like “Calm down!”, Don’t get so excited!”, I suppose.
Ha, so at least that shirt actually makes sense! :)
