僕がエッチですか。

Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received my first spam for a porno web site written entirely in Japanese.

Don’t ask me why, but I feel that this is somewhat of an accomplishment. :-P

Also, this little bit of news deserves to the title of “Anime WTF Moment of the Week” even if it is only Sunday. Enjoy!

  1. Been there, done that. Spam comes from anywhere and everywhere these days…

  2. What does it say? I tried using a translator and this is what I got:

    Am I etching?

    Clearly, that translator is fucked up. I wonder what it REALLY says.

  3. Scott’s Japanese Lesson of the Day

    “etching” is mistranslated from “ecchi,” so what the translator should have said was “Am I ecchi?”

    Ecchi (pronounced kinda like “ate chi”) is supposed to be the Japanese way of saying the English letter H.

    H as in Hentai, which I’m sure you know what that means. ;-)

    But saying “ecchi” is much too cute to be translated as “pervert”, so you use a more teasing word like “naughty.”

    So in conclusion, my title asks, “Am I naughty?”

  4. That’s nearly as bad as the time I used a translator to search Yahoo! JP for the Ah! My Goddess statue I wanted. I got a lot of…

    “Bell Dundee.”

    Right… is that an Aussie goddess?

    “Crikey! I want a Sheila like you to stay with me forever!”
