So if you don't know about it there's actually an entire site (well probably more than the one but it's the most well known)...anyway this site is all Engrish. And mostly hilarious.
The Korean government was actually giving away money (well...tourist gift certificates but whatever they're good a lot of places) for like 50,000 a pop (about $45USD). All you needed to do to get this money was to take a picture of a government posted sign and report it with a correct supplied. Afterwards they went through and fixed all the signs, but they wanted to make the city more tourist friendly (and they're still working on that...). So you still see Engrish, just (typically) not on any official signs.
So one of the most painful Engrish things I've seen was on a shirt. Now the reason it's so painful is because they were SO CLOSE to having a proper sentence, even if it was a little strange for a shirt. Then they just lost it at the end...
"If you have the time and the desire to leave feedback it would be appreciated and hello"
So. Close.
For a good time: Engrish.com
