In Japan you'll have many close encounters with what I'd like to call 'mood 
poetry'. It doesn't have to make sense, so any combination of 
emotion-evoking words in a foreign language will do. In advertisements, on 
packaging and on clothes, T-shirts as well as underwear. On the latter 
you'll find some philosopically bewildering statements that will shed a 
whole new light on the relation between packaging and content. Can't think 
of any off-hand, but I have been shocked, once or twice, in rather intimate 
situations.
