Lost in Translation

Here is a brilliant cultural mashup from a jewish girl living in Beijing (and I have it on good authority that her accent isn’t too bad for an American).

And here are some less brilliant examples of east-meets-west cultural mashups. It wouldn’t be so funny if it wasn’t so permanent–silly white devils.

    I’ve always wondered if the white folks who get chinese character tatoos know what they’re getting. Apparently not always.

    The first mashup was really excellent and so rich, especially for someone who has not been to China yet. Can’t wait to watch the others. Thanks for the link…
