Subject: (yet another) Ethics of photography discussion
I am a regular on a forum for foreigners in China. It had a
long discussion of some of the odd English seen on T-shirts
here. http://raoulschinasaloon.com/index.php?topic=5380.0
Many of the posts were illustrated with photos. Quite a
few might have embarrassed the subjects. Many were
university-age women wearing things like "Slut #69",
of course without a clue what the English meant.
that's not limited to China. I first noticed the phenomenon in France in the
early '70s. People seem to have improved their English somewhat since then,
but the t-shirts often involved some gobbledigook phrase follwed by "Team".
I'm also fascinated by people here who have tattoos in Japanese, Arabic,
Chinese and so on. I wonder what they say, and I suspect in most cases it's
something like Dry Clean Only.
Urban legend has it that one popular tattoo was originally lifted from a
menu and translates to "This dish very tasty".
From there, another discussion has spun off in a thread
titled "Ethical photography". It might interest some here.
