This site posts daily pictures of Japanese signs and places, where English is mis-used, often unknowingly by the Japanese. Since most Japanese only have a passing familiarity with English, most of them don't see/understand the problem with these 'Engrish' signs, but to us that speak English, it takes on a whole new meaning, in a hilarious way. :D

Take this for example:
