No, it's not safe for work, so don't even pretend.

Oh, and a recipe for Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies and Candied Bacon.

Don't understand how that tshirt is anything but appalling. UNfunny.

OTOH, I'd like to find that board game.

Not so much funny as WTF. It is a prime example of unknown words being put on a tshirt in a country where the language isn't typically spoken just because it looks cool. Kinda like people who get Asian words tattooed because they look pretty, but don't know what they mean.

The excerpt had to come from somewhere. That's what's appalling.

I recall the joke where a newly tattooed fratboy learns the chinese characters across his back actually translate as "Roundeye THINK this says COURAGE"

Paraphrasing something John Munch/Richard Belzer once said in SVU: Don't appropriate ethnic stereotypes that aren't YOUR ethnic stereotypes. It can only lead to trouble.

ETA: Very interesting set of comments (256) on the engrishfun.com site's entry for that pic.

I was at a Rave once and a young black man we didn't know was was showing my Chinese friend his new tattoo that was a Chinese character he said meant "Strength". My Chinese friend just smiled and nodded (we were very drunk and high) after the guy left my friend said to me: "That tattoo actually means "coal" which in some parts of china is a very derogatory term for black person."
Poor guy.

I had a copy of that once. The glasses really hurt your ears and face, though.
