Jive Mutton

You often hear about ideas being lost in translation. Many times even a great translator cannot transfer the tone or eloquence of the original text. Every once in a while however, something is gained in translation. What could be gained you ask? WTFs.
This is a poster for a Mongolian restaurant in Japan. It has Japanese and English instructions that teach people how to cook mutton on a Mongolian grill. Apparently the Japanese translation is fairly ordinary, but the English translation is... well you have to see it...

    Is that how they think all English speakers speak? I can't even identify the dialect they are attempting to imitate.

    Looks like somebody needs to go back to history class. Does Christopher Columbus and the pilgrims sound familiar?

    Check with Wikipedia. Caucasians are from the Middle East; Turkey, Iran, eastern part of Russia. The name spread to include just about all of Europe. Immigrants to the Americas (North and South) who are not Asian or African are mostly Caucasian.

    Indigenous peoples are simply the people who exterminated the previous indigenous people.
