Brokeback Through The Looking Glass (the Malaysian subtitles thread)
fernly:
I cannot wait for the next installments of this. Sheyne - too too funny. Thank you!
I'm laughing so hard my dog thinks I'm barking at him.
You know those moments when somebody says "Tell ya what", or "soup", or anything else from Brokeback, and Brokies' eyes get that faraway look? Now there're going to be moments of inexplicable laughter when somebody says "Kyle", or "ammonia"....
Kea:
hahahhahah...very funny....
the scary thing is I have watched newsclips from that part of the world....mind you important serious NEWS!!
the person being interviewed says one thing...
the translation says something completely different...
here I am jumping up and down saying...that not what he said!!!!
sigh.....Malaysia has English as part of their school curriculum....
obviously these fine folk failed it.
hugs

I can't stop laughing. I love language so much. This is better than chocolate in the deliciosity department.
I rmember being in Malaysia very briefly once (I think it's a coincidence that my story, too, involves Malaysia, I'm not picking on them) in 1990, and being in a shopping mall. Much of it looked exactly, weirdly like what it would have looked like in the United States, certain same brands (for some reason I remember Casio).
Anyway, the one thing that really struck me as hilariously different was the English sayings on people's T shirts. Things like "Hello yes happy park" written like it was a sentence that made sense. "Now girl bunny." I am making these up because I don't remember the real ones, but oh my god I love this sort of hing so much. So wonderfully ridickulous. I can't wait for the next installment, Sheyne. Thank you for spreadin the joy.
