He could be Spoofy’s friend, judging by the tricky, garbled text in the bottom side of the shirt! 😀

That explains everything! Clearly, “rthg hgfhrt hnbvtr bfaghrt” is what Charlie Brown’s teacher has been saying all this time.

Seriously. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to say?

Lynda: because there’s no Chinese text, there’s no way to know.

In China, English writing is sometimes used merely for decoration, not because it says anything meaningful. I’d say this is an example of that.

^actually the pattern of the letters looks familiar to me – what I’d come up with if I randomly banged on the keyboard. Timesaving way to add Engrish! Note that almost all of the letters come from the center of the keyboard, tending slightly to the left. Only one vowel, and it’s an outlier. I’m guessing the “designer” had his right hand on the mouse and was in a rush to meet a deadline.

Since the RTHG is half covered up, I can only assume it’s one of China’s many Ripoff Tony Hawk Games

My favorite part is the words under “Snoofy!” They obviously thought it looked more professional to have English characters there, but the ones they chose are far more hilarious than any mixed up Engrish I’ve seen!

It seems to me that in Asian cultures, English is cool and trendy but few of the people there speak it. That’s probably why it’s cool to have nonsense written on t-shirts, just like we think t-shirts with Japanese characters on them are cool here.

They don’t even know the difference between vowels and consonants? And this must be a counterfeit Snoopy product.

Don’t forget, when Woodstock talks, it shows up as |||||||||||||||||||. Maybe that last line is the exact phonetic transcription of how the Chinese read that. “We don’t have any idea what it’s supposed to mean, but what the hell!”.
