?
|
 |
nice design, but I dont get the phrase - intentional?
|
 |
He just doesn't know how to translate spanish to english.
|
 |
I think I'd buy it just because it's extremely confusing.
|
|
Yeah, me too.
|
 |
hahaha same
just so people go... wtf.. infact i do that to everyone... i try to confuse people as much as possible |
 |
:3
I'll never look at my toast the same way again. Maybe they'll kill me with their grapelicious beams when I'm not looking. $5 |
|
is correct beams grape in english?
|
 |
No. It makes no sense at all in English. I'm guessing it's supposed to be tanning beds or something.
|
|
yes is tanning beds
|
|
hahaha i like grape beams
|
|
In spanish is rayos uva tanned artificial
|
 |
I would totally get this just for comedy value! $5 for the confusion factor!
|
 |
The random confusion does add to it but the idea is cool!
|
 |
leave the beams grape and $5
|
 |
I don't understand. I eat my grapes unbeamed!
|
 |
lol
|
 |
¿qué usted se prepone decir? Puedo traducirlo al inglés.
|
 |
once again, the lever is in the down position whilst the toast is popped up...
as hermes says, "that only raises even more questions!" |
|
What I want to transmit of comical form, is that the toaster is for the toast a few beams grape, and because of it the cartel is beams grape 1hora / 5$
|
 |
Reading the comments on this one is hilarious. I have to say, it is much more hilarious with the mistranslation. What an awesome slip up :D
|
|
Sounds like someone's using a translater. o_O
|
|
yes, i using
|
 |
yeah this is a great mis translation 5
|
|
Hurray for Engrish.
4, because I love it, but I wouldn't wear it. |
 |
UV beams = wrinkly grape (raisin??) skin!? That's the parallel I draw. Funny.. Engrish. =)
|
|
Please keep the mistranslation. It's lovely.
En ingles es lo mismo a diciendo "piso manzana." Pero me encanta. Es mejor. |
 |
Best blog ever!
Must keep design as is. Print blog on reverse of shirt! |
|
ps. Readystyle, we're not laughing at you. We're laughing at the "translator". Your drawing is well executed and your idea is worth persuing. You might put your stuff on the critique blog first next time and we can help with translations.
|
 |
Ok in spanish UV rays are called "rayos uva". And uva is grape in english...which leads to a hilarious translation. $5 because it's weird and I like bread.
|
|
Thanks to all!! :)
|
 |
yes...beams grape. =P!
|
|
I just want this shirt cause its cool.
|
 |
I would absoloutly buy this shirt with the mistranslation. ReadyStyle's explanation is so great and should be printed on the back...
"What I want to transmit of comical form, is that the toaster is for the toast a few beams grape, and because of it the cartel is beams grape 1hora / 5$" To go even farther place TyTorrent's comment below it... "I don't understand. I eat my grapes unbeamed!" All of your designs have been fun and imaginitive. Keep it up ReadyStyle. |
|
I'll 5$/1 hour
|
 |
Hahaha I love mistranslations. UV(engl.) = UVA(spanish)= grape(english); Rayos = ray beams.., here made into a verb. All this = hilaylay.
A+! |
 |
This just keeps getting funnier & funnier. Keep the beams grape!
|
|
Do you understand the concept of this design? :P i can't change the text
|
|
yes. It is Great.
|
|
:)
|
 |
I'd say keep it in Spanish or fix the English. So many designs rely on vague concepts or designs that could only be explained if you knew what the title was. A great design has to work independent of any explanation.
|
 |
i agree with giraffehead,
we should add TyTorrent's comment below it... "I don't understand. I eat my grapes unbeamed!" i like the design how it is. i'd buy it. |
|
Ahhhhhh this page is sooo funny. I want to keep it forever and ever. I also agree with giraffe, you REALLY should put those comments on the shirt.
|
 |
PERFECTOMONDO!!
must see this printed!! Beams grape to you all!! :) |
 |
Haha!
Rayos UVA! Beams Grape! |
 |
tesco on Apr 11 '07 beams grape is almost the greatest thing I've ever read
|
 |
You know what else is funny?
Consider what a piece of toast would look like after an hour in the toaster! Totally beamed to grapes! |
|
PS $5
|
 |
I agree with giraffehead. I collect Engrish from Japan, and this is so damn cute. (I would collect Engrish of many lands, but Japanese is my major). LOVE IT!
|
 |
I think this is too unrealistic. In my experience, beams grape is more like 150$/hr
|
 |
Bah ha ha!
|
 |
I NEED this.
I WANT this. Don't make me sad pple. 5!!! |
 |
random. :)
great! |
 |
I think we should type "beams grape" into a translator, translate it back to spanish, translate that into french, translate that into german, and then back into english to see what happens. Wait, I'll do it for you.
"Celanese the grape/cluster" Excellent design, especially since I don't tan cuz I'm already black. I'd wear it as is. |
 |
I honestly think that this shirt would sell out if the story were explained.
I love it! |
 |
this shirt is a thing of beauty. $5!
|
|
I lol'd
|
 |
HAHA I would buy this for the sole purpose of confusing people
|
 |
I like the yellow!
|
 |
you should have the piece coming out of the toaster darker and have another very white one wearing tanning goggles or something in line
|
 |
I thought the mistranslation was a deliberate play on words, my father is bilingual and makes puns like that a lot. Here in Arizona many people are bilingual- with the untranslated title Rayos UVA as a caption it is hysterical.
("puns" - for those using a translator is a type of word play, the word "pun" to my knowledge does not come up in babblefish ) |
 |
This is really funny.
BEAMS GRAPE! |
 |
I'm jumping on the bandwagon...
BEAMS GRAPE FTW! |
 |
luv it great one
|
 |
Set phasers to beams grape!
|
 |
BEAMS GRAPE!!!!
|
|
good ole beams grape. this is hilarious. also, for future reference, we say $5, not 5$
love it. |
 |
wtf, but i like it.
|
 |
am i at lafraise dot com?!
i yeah, um four? |
 |
High-larious.
Beams grape: it's not just for breakfast anymore! |
 |
VIVA LA BEAMS GRAPE!
good ole beams grape. this is hilarious. also, for future reference, we say $5, not 5$ With the confusing exception of Threadless where "5$" means a score of 5 and "I'd buy it". |
 |
I don't think many people would understand it. :/
|
|
"I don't think many people would understand it. :/" frenchfried
I really don't think it matters though. That's part of the appeal. |
|
For some odd reason, I really, deeply want this shirt now. I need it, especially before I go to spain.
|
 |
This is the greatest example of the confusion of translating languages
5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
I gave it a 5 just for the story
|
|
:) by the time i reached the bottom of the page i was crying with laughter
i would buy it now of course |
 |
I love this. especially with the mistranslation.
it makes it all the more amazing. and will be hilarious to explain to people. grape actually works kind of well... grape jelly! |
 |
get over the toast/toaster, it has been done before so many times. you just proved that the saying an "idea never goes out of style" is false.
|
 |
dont change a word on it! hahahaha
awesome... $5 |
 |
eh?
|
 |
AMAZING.
I'd so buy it. |
|
Hahaha. So hilarious!
At first I didn't get it, but now that I understand.. It's too funny of an opp to pass up!! |
 |
Quag on Apr 16 '07 Jajajajaja. Este es especial. Este es un $5.
|
|
Beams Grape is my new favourite phrase of the day! I need to find a conversation where I can casually work "beams grape" in.
|
 |
It is perfect! Please keep the mistranslation, it's not random or wierd, it's fantastic.
|
 |
Beams grape? All I can think off is someone with their mouth crammed with grapes, grinning. Man those translators suck. THAT'S meant to be tanning beds?
Also make it $5/1 hour |
 |
omg i'm still cracking up, this is the best lost in translation shirt!!
|
 |
this is intensely good, i stared at it for like five minutes trying to figure out what grapes were being beamed...
duuuude, beams grapes all the way. 5$ for an hour and forever. |
|
oh my goodness, after reading all the comments and laughing my butt off....i want to buy it just for the story. and someone should imortalize these comments on a shirt somewhere. oh dear. 5!
|
|
idk wut it means but i love it
|
|
if the back were to include the story of beams grape that would make it an epic reprinting masterpeice!
|
|
I still have my grapes crossed in hopes that this will be beamed.
|
 |
I want them to print this for my friend. I think he's a tad obsessed with it. ;)
|
 |
Hahaha, this makes me laugh out loud 'cause of the mistranslation. I'm sure that if you didn't realise it was a mistranslation it wouldn't be so great :D
