It’s funny how fast the internet moves these days–thousands have people have stopped by here in the past few days to check out the Fuckin’ Sale, and here it is, already fuckin’ over.
Well, actually the sale is still on until Monday, but I spoke with the people from Gallerie earlier today (hurray, my Japanese is getting better!) and apparently they’ve decided to take down the fuckin’ signs.
They also apologized for any offense taken over their hilariously offensive sign. Personally, I thought it was fuckin’ brilliant, but I suppose they’ve been getting rather a lot of press, and not the sort they wanted. Aw, well. Fuckin’ eh.
They’ve also cleaned up the website a bit, and it’s quite neutralized now.
In the meantime, here’s another fuckin’ fabulous gem from their website. Which bland DO YOU LIKE?
Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll be sure to tell you guys if I hear anything else from the good folks over at Gallerie. Don’t forget to check out part two of the Fuckin’ Sale Saga, and if you like Engrish, you might also enjoy Jew Nail, Little Pricks, and of course, Fukkin’ the Isu. And don’t forget to check back every Friday, for our always entertaining Engrish of the Week!
So sad! I loved that whole campaign saga.
The ad made it onto winningateverything.com! And someone linked to your blog in the comments! Coolness.
And now it’s on Language Log!

You know it’s a shame they don’t have an English version of their website with some t-shirts, bags, posters, coffee mugs or something that people like me could buy. I’d buy a few just to hand to friends of mine … and a few to keep.
Definitely brightened my day reading about this. Would you mind terribly letting them know?
