LMAO, I just saw this example of English textbook sabotage in Korea, some ESL teacher probably did this as a joke:

Anyone have any other hilarious examples of English sabotage by NET's?

Or have any of you done something like this yourself--intentionally putting in jokes that Koreans won't understand when they ask you to help write a textbook or prepare marketing materials or something?
