Epic lulz throughout the city

[taotrooper]

1. Respect for "old schold"... whatever that is:

You know, random graffiti person, your message about how artistic said hobby is would be more valid without the horrible misspelling of English worlds. You can't be possibly respecting the "ghetto" movement that much if you can't spell it well... *pet peeve*

I understand ghetto is tricky, but misspelling school is just SAD, kids.

2. Sucking too hard on your lollipop:

Every time I go to Alcampo (think of it as a mix between a supermarket and a Walmart), I shudder when I see these posters with pictures of lollipops and assorted candy. Below there's this text that goes like this:

There are alternatives. Please do not smoke inside the store.

...And I have flashbacks to the awful American dub stories, and come to the conclusion that message was brought to you by 4kids instead x____x

3. Can you say obsolete?

While my uncle was buying pots at El Corte Inglés, I was fooling around on the DVD and books section. And then I see in the young literature section there was that Mugglenet prediction book. Which made me go:

a) They translated THAT into Spanish?! WTFFFFFF.
b) I still can't believe they tried to make money out of fan essays and epileptic trees.
c) Er too late, LOL.

Mind you, I don't know how long that one's been around. Still, only impatient fools who can't read English would waste their bucks on that. And if they were that keen, it's cheaper to go to a cybercafe and poke the Intarwebz for spoilers, or use school computers, or their own home connection. Or ask a friend who does know who died and hooked up with who.

And Emerson's name on the cover would scare the potential H/Hr buyers, if they existed.

2. XDDDDDDDDDD You know, we're supposed to be the Catholic! Repressed! Traditional! Culture and yet... we get ten years-old lesbians on Cartoon Network and they don't.

3. For realz. I mean, why would you buy it?

It's just a tiny fraction of their manganime what gets censured, though. It's only two or three companies who are all Think Of The Childrums!

Cardcaptors by Nelvana seems decent compared to, say, One Piece by 4kids D:

The problem is that Cartoon Network Latinamerica then goes a buys the 4Kids version. XDDDDD
I know that, but it always strikes me as odd when they describe Latin culture as being religious and traditional when they're probably just as religious and traditional. Only their religion and tradition is different.

It is amusing, but I can't feel the respect the person wanted to transmit XD

I saw some graffiti years ago that said "School is gay" and someone else had written under it "true, too ture". Ha ha. complaining about and school AND misspelling it at the same time is just too delightful.

Must be more amusing/depressing in English-speaking countries, certainly! But one of the first complex words in English you learn in school when taught as a second language is, well, 'school'. After years of seeing it, you'd think they'd memorize it already. Then again, some people are just bad at languages, but if graffiting is their pastime they'd likely have more contact with English -in this case, more like Engrish though- words outside school.
