It's Chinglish Time Again!

Here are a few more Chinglish gems that I’ve run into during my daily life.

They have these 'inspirational' posters in every classroom, but this drives me nuts and I have to show my classes a picture of the real Martin Luther King Jr. Does anyone know who this guy is?

The ironic thing about this shirt is the front said "A+ Model Student." Not quite! (Even more ironically it was worn by a poor student who never came to class and admitted to me that he failed a big test in another class. Maybe he was going for a subtle suggestion.)

Okay, not quite Chinglish, but damn cute. Since Disney is building a new park in Shanghai we have noticed an influx of Disney stuff.

    I think that guy in the first picture is an Ivy League professor…or an unpopular politician. And that shirt would go great with my Chinese price list for everyday encounters shirt.

    Do you know his name? I just imagine schools all across China having this poster and thousand and thousand of students giving this mystery man a whole lot more credit than he deserves.

    I think it’s Cliff Huxtable’s dad from The Cosby Show.

    Good try but I looked it up and it’s not. (Would you believe there is a wikipedia entry on the ‘characters of the Cosby Show?!’)
    Any other guesses?
