I was still left wondering if pepperment leant her vibrator to a girl under 18 or if the babysitter "found" it, if Peppermint would end up in prison for 3 years?

(mmmm...female prison catfights...)

Just kidding Peppermint...that was one really bad website...not nearly as bad as this follow-up but hey...what can you expect with all that talk about sex toys... Embarassed

So ESLers can teach people how to use these products? Would that be before or after English class?

Man. I used to do a lot of editing for the Seoul city tourism site. My job was to take English translated from Korean and "smooth" it out. That's the level of English I got to work with. Sometimes I felt like telling them "You know it would be easier if you just gave me the topic and let me research and write it myself. The job would go quicker than trying to decode what's written." There's something incredibly hard about trying to edit really, really bad English.

'Vacuum men's sexual organ enlarging machines'

trigger123,
That is British English. Do you remember Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery? He had one.
Wink Laughing

[Returning Austin's personal property after reanimating him.]
Guard: One Swedish-made *beep* enlarger.
Austin: [to Vanessa] That's not mine.
Guard: One credit card receipt for Swedish-made *beep* enlarger signed by Austin Powers.
Austin: I'm telling ya baby that's not mine.
Guard: One warranty card for Swedish-made *beep* enlarger pump, filled out by Austin Powers.
Austin: I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby.
Guard: One book, "Swedish-made *beep* Enlargers And Me: This Sort of Thing Is My Bag Baby," by Austin Powers.

Looks like they used a lot of "babelfish"!

But I don't quite see how these things are bad for "youths". Better to use one of the "devices" than to get their girl pregnant!!!

You're looking at it all wrong. As I see it, it's not 'really, really bad English' -- it's not "English" at all. It's Korean (sentences) written with English words.
