This should be used as an advertisement why automated translations shouldn't be used for website design:
http://www.meister21.co.kr
This is the website of the Music and Art Educational Development Association.
Alas, they used a direct translation of 회 to become the "Korean Art Education Promotion Raw Fish".
Their top menu is also hilarious. The International Concerts section has ended up being about Bean Sprouts.
Enjoy!

Funny! I got an e-mail from a female (university) student at the end of last semester. I guess she used translation software and didn't double-check it. She included both the Korean and translated messages, so I was able to figure it out. The English part started with:
"Professor, I want to talk to you about sexual."
Well, that got my attention. She's pretty hot.
Then I read the Korean part. She wanted to talk about her final grade, 성적, which also means 'sexual.'
*sigh* |
