Heh! I was thinking of posting that link myself; looks like you beat me to it. I just love the way the Japanese are so free and easy with their (ab)use of Engrish, without bothering to find out what any of it means...
...then again, I guess it works the other way around, too. People get shirts and jewelry and even tattoos with Oriental symbols on them, without even knowing what they mean. One day, on a particular newsgroup, some guy popped up wanting to know the kanji (Japanese character) for 'master' for a tattoo. Someone responded with a bitmap of a kanji...suffice to say it wasn't the character for 'master'. >:D
