Anti-Semitic Semantic Search


Nazis cause Jews, Arabs cure them, hookers are best treated with steroids and Adobe Photoshop, and one of the benefits of diabetes is copying documents. Narcissism is treatable by both aggression and Freud, but the latter may cause arthritis and great anguish and destroy your career. Marijuana can "assess psychometric accuracy" and help you "achieve wider social acceptance".

This is just a sampling of the medical advice dished up by HealthBase, a new semantic search engine evidently released into public beta prematurely. As TechCrunch reported last week, HealthBase drew some minor controversy for listing "Jew" as a cause of AIDS. Treatments include "Arab", "gene", alcohol and coarse salt. In an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks, "Pros of Jew" include "endorse extrinsic religiosity" and "facilitate Americanization", while cons include "enemy", "plague" and "kill Christian". On a more paradoxical note, the causes include "Nazi" and "Hitler".

Engrish Locks!

Do not little. Drink tobacco. This WC is free of washing. Remember to flash the toilet. Scanner something error happens. It can't get it on under 12 years old. Expose yourself. Let's make violent sports together. I like a check very much. However, a good thing is beautiful always.

This is just a sampling of the wisdom you'll find at http://Engrish.com, a site dedicated to humorous mistranslations from Japanese to English.
