What The??! (Series 1)

It's one of those things that never fails to catch your attention. In Communications Marketing, we call it Novel Stimuli (using of humour to attract attention). BAD ENGLISH!

Talking to Cindy and Clara, we've compiled some bad english that occured right in the heart of Melbourne, land of the English descendents, but possibly peppered with ambassadors of other nationalities (of which I will not try to name).

Here's the list from the restaurants:
1) Prok Vemicelli, Dump Dumplings and Fred Red Bean Cake
2) BBQ Chiken with special rice

And these came from formal correspondence/presentations of the post-graduate students of Australia's best university:
1) Alternative Adz
2) It's a Pitty
3) Swizzland

We're quite brain-dead now... so we'll add on as we get more of such input.
