Um...Can This be a Cultural Misunderstanding?


Photo from Perezhilton.com

This is a publicity still from Famous Cam's upcoming movie. After seeing this kid in person, I can attest to the strength and flexibility he'll be showing. He's not very big for his age, but he was very fit, as in the kind of fit that comes from a lot of time in the gym. It would take a lot of time and dedication to be able to do this!

This is a production T-shirt that Famous Cam received. It's obviously patterened after the photo, but something's been lost...or maybe added...in the translation.

No, that can't be right. It can't be what I think it is...let's take a closer look, shall we?

Sweet fancy Moses, it is. not. anything...that looks like a hand. We've offered to pay him to wear the shirt to school and gauge public (or should I say pubic) opinion. hahahahahahahhaha.

Hahahaha! OH, that was good. It looks like a little arthritic claw, and the shoulder, ewwww.

Hey, is your church big enough that it would be awkward to say something about the absence of Christmas songs?

I can't believe someone didn't catch that before it went to print. I almost wonder if it's a sick joke on the part of whoever was responsible for this t-shirt design.

So Cam won't wear it to school? Come on, Cam! Do it!

Lucy, I don't think it's an inside joke. I think it's a classic example of different sets of "eyes" when looking at something. This is, after all, the country that has split pants on children, peeing in the streets, and rows of little fat men and children statues with their little weenies hanging out in the market. Either they don't see it or they don't mind it.

Ave, our church isn't that big. Today's Christmas service had the story of the Nativity with the kids singing the first verse of 3 carols. Then we got to sing Joy to the World and O Holy Night. That was IT. Then we were back to the music that reminds us of the real reason for Christmas. Whatever that meant. Back to the contemporary regular stuff. SIGH.
