My Korean Family
I think my biggest regret about Korea is not taking pictures of all the ridiculous t-shirts I've seen. A day walking around Seoul doesn't go by where I don't see absolutely absurd t-shirts. I see 9 year old girls wearing shirts which say "I like it dirty" and there's a picture of a martini glass on the back of the shirt. They have no idea what the shirt says or means. Then, there's the one's that have horrific spelling ("Boston, Massachubatts"...easily the most popular shirt in Korea), the strange verbiage ("Justifiable Traditional Sports Casual" or "Trendy Modern Casual Style"), and finally ones with random curses ("You ain't a cowboy, you ain't shit!"). I don't know who makes these shirts and why the hell people buy them, but they do, and I finally decided to take pictures when I could....
Boston, MassachuBATTS......................................... Boston FELTICS?
Just random seeing a Shawn Kemp Jersey....Other jersey says "Nuccess".If you don't know, should say "Nuggets"
I clue about the hamburger shirt...other one says "Take This Job and SHOVE IT!"
On the front was a big pic of an eagle 
This is just a VERY wordy shirt................ Great line from a classic rap song
There is no opium here, or ANYWHERE
in Korea for that matter. So I don't get it

Pictures from Ocean World. One isn't funny, just ridiculous seeing a ride with a 3 hour and 40 minute wait. Everything at Ocean World is "extreme" even the place for missing children.
Pretty sure it's supposed to say "College." Unless they were showing off collages. Lastly, there's Zazz, one of my favorite genres of music
Funny pictures and signs round one

Asia and bootleg are two words that frequently appear in the same sentence. Usually it's in regards to products, but in Korea it also happens with the names of bars, stores, etc. Let's check out some of my favorites...
I’m not expert on copyright infringement, but I’m pretty sure you can’t do the following things.
1. Name a store after an already existing brand that is known worldwide
2. Use the official logo of another company and simply change the name of your store/product
3. Name a store after one of the (if not the) most famous museums in the world
4. Create your own renditions of famous characters from tv/movies and pretend like it’s not a ripoff
5. Name a bar/store after a famous band
I like the Ting Tings and all, but I mean they are a new band. Queen is LEGENDARY and Jamiroquai is pretty famous. Seems like you're making a big leap naming it after a band that hasn't been out long and isn't a sure thing. Plus, the bar smells like a bathroom that's been urinated in a lot (with nothing ever going in the toilet) and never cleaned. That place is a hellhole and I never want to go back there. Ever.
6. Name a store after a famous video game.
7. Name a store/product off a famous movie or characters
8. Claim that you are a Hyatt hotel, when in fact you are just a "Love Motel" (gotta blog about these places eventually)
There's a bunch of fake Hilton's as well. Pretty sure the Hilton family got word of this and is suing.
I don't know how these places get away with it. I'm sure there will be crackdowns at some point, it will just be an easy way for these corporations/people who own trademarks/copyrights over these names to get some $ in a settlement. Until then, I'll laugh about all the funny places I see and will take pictures of them as well.
