episode iii, the backstroke of the west
* edit - an updated version of backstroke of the west is here- you can comment there too, as the comments seem to be broken here.
i saw revenge of the sith last weekend at a local theater with my friend joe who was in town on business. it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga.
the next day i was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith. i was assured the quality was good and for 7rmb why not give it a shot.
aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. the captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. it varied from being somewhat close to the script to being 'far far away'....
amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.
star war (just one)
'the backstroke of the west' is the english translation of the chinese title.
anakin: "this is where the fun begins"
obi wan: "let them pass between us"
anonymous doomed fighter pilot: "they're all over me"
obi wan, space battle strategist.
obi wan grows impatient with r2.
the chancellor warns anakin and obi wan that count dooku is... big.
obi wan assures the chancellor that it's no problem.
count dooku talks tough.
that's chancellor palpatine speaking, talking about obi wan.
general grevious gets some bad news.
the general considers punishing his troops.
anakin taunts general grevious.
the general fires off a snappy comeback
ummm... ????
we gonna rock down to... lemon avenue.
padme the homemaker
anakin tells padme about his dream.
on the hoof - idiom, 'not yet butchered; alive. used especially of cattle'
hallelujah!
yoda: "premonitions? premonitions?"
sounds like something yoda might actually say... maybe.
anakin is haunted by dreamses.
troopseses!
anakin gets frustrated with the jedi council.
the chancellor tells anakin the story of darth plagueis the wise, aka the dintmeister.
plagueis learned how to become... strong and big.
but he lost his power and died...
...then was killed by his land, so he could sleep. a tragic story indeed.
this seemed completely random until i figured out that 'jedi council' was being translated into chinese then back to english as 'the presbyterian church'.
anakin: "obi wan, may the force be with you"
tion medon: "on the tenth level, thousands of battledroids"
obi wan: "hello there"
the general tells his troops to back off, he'll take care of obi wan.
...but is it big?
the chancellor delivers anakin some bad news.
mace windu reads the chancellor his rights.
anakin bargains for the life of his cuckoldry.
anakin gets a new name.
the emporer: "rise!"
the emporer tells anakin... umm... something.
anakin: "i agree."
the emperor: "do what must be done, lord vader."
yoda: "goodbye chewbacca."
c3po tells the amorous couple to get a room.
padme: "no thank you, c3po."
obi wan: "who could have done this?"
obi wan can't face what he must do.
yoda insists...
...and explains that the person he once knew noed longer is.
how about a snickers?
anakin tells padme about his new virtues, now being both strong and big.
padme doesn't want strong and big- she also doesn't want to walk on a road meant for running about.
lier!!!
obi wan has heard enough.
meanwhile, the emperor reveals his true ambitions.
anakin taunts, but...
...obi wan stands on higher ground...
...and proclaims his love.
this translation is classic. darth vader is actually shouting, "nooooooooooooo..."
* edit - an updated version of backstroke of the west is here.
due to popular request i've (finally) figured out how to use subrip to pull the complete english subtitle file off the dvd- here they are in all their glory. check out this awesome backstroke anime art!

Damn I knew I should have bought this when there. It's worth it just for the subtitles! Be worth making up a 6-DVD set for $4. I wonder if all the subtitles are still bad, since actual originals were released - have you noticed if the good quality transfer ones (i.e. DVD copies rather than screeners/screenings) actually use the real subitltes or do they also do the dual translation?
Wow. I am sending this to our Star Wars mailing list at the office.
amit- i haven't actually bought some good quality transfer dvds yet so i'm not sure. there ought to be some good copies out there if they're taken from a master copy.
initial- lemme know their feedback. =)
GENIUS! I laughed my ass off.
jeremy,
I thought you might like to know that I linked to this entry. Great work! Keep it up.
http://www.sinosplice.com/weblog/archives/2005/06/14/backstroke-of-the-west
LOL, thats too funny.
BRILLIANT!
I'm passing this around the office!
Wonderful!
boing boing'ed you've been
Having been "made by the Presbyterian Church" myself, I wonder what amazing powers I haven't been exercising?
You've been boing-boinged ... that's pretty cool!
MORE! Please... more... Even if transcribed and in plaintext, I must have more!
Hilarious! Thanks so much for sharing..came here via boingboing!
I will buy this off you. This freaking great!
This version of SW must be included on ALL future collectors edition of Star Wars.
God, oh my, hilarious frickin tranlation of enjoyable french fries.
www.cravingmusic.com
i picked up a bootleg of Minority Report in NYC Chinatown a couple years ago which also had awful subtitles, including an instance in the first five minutes in which an exclaimation that sounded pretty much like "Shit!" was subtitled as "Shift!" If you're not gonna learn how to curse, you shouldn't bother with foriegn languages at all
Hilarious...I'm going to cop a copy today...thanks for putting a smile on my face!!!
Toast me! I say you got to toast me!
Oy vey!
Thank you for posting these. I'll just go lie down for a bit.
Oyoyoy....

sheer brilliance!
this is the stuff all your base videos are made of!
See, this is why I hate anti-piracy measures-- I'm never gonna be able to find a copy of this in LA. I would pay twice as much for this than the inevitable Sith DVD is gonna cost. They don't sell pirated material on eBay, do they?
It's an improvement on Lucas' script if you ask me.
Good stuff, let's see some more!
Haha, I just got back from Xi'an, and picked up three different copies of the Sith, in search for that "perfect copy" out there that I never found. I never bothered to check the subtitles on that one, since i figured most would be terrrible, like the "danny the dog" dvd (aka unleashed) had subtitles from some Dolph Lundgren movie. I was like, "wow, I've never seen Morgan Freeman swear so much in one sentence!!!"
It's an improvement on Lucas' script if you ask me.
We are in agreement, anonymous brother.
I'd say something's been gained (rather than lost)in the translation. Riotous! I'll be going to China within the next year - please the fates that I can find a copy.
Please transcribe this. It would do nothing but make me happy.
where can i find this dvd???
hi all! thanks for the comments.
initael- i guess it spread pretty far outside your office distribution list!
alex cline- i'll transcribe a couple of scenes. takes a while to do so i'll limit it to some of the cheesier dialogue.
time bandit- i found this copy in the xiang yang market. my sister tried to buy another copy but it was a different (better) transfer with subtitles from another movie.
absolutely priceless.
Wow! Worth it just for the subtitles :)
Is there any way the pictures can be posted elsewhere? quite a few of the images are broken.
This is absolutely great. I laughed my ass off. They should sell it as an offical alternative release.
This is 10 kinds of awesome.
win
LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!
XDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!
*passes out from laughing so much!(for real)*
i want to buy it

Hilarious. I want a copy of this awesome version!
This is... this is genius. Please rip it, then put it up as a torrent. I'll seed this copy... forever! LOL.

I am soo going to check around sidestalls for these subs.
:D
You should really make a DVD-rip and put up a .torrent of it somewhere. :-)
Comedy gold! That last screen really wraps it up :D
For the love of...!
Please rip this, or at least the subtitles! This is gold. :D
Awesome!
The Backstroke of the West, I'm still laughing.....
I want, I want, please post a torrent somewhere. But, as has been noted earlier, George Lucas should have hired this guy as his script-writer.
keep refreshing and the pics will get back. damn. this is a funny.
Incomparable.
etc., etc.

Ya know I think they mistook Yoda for Golem there... "Dreamses"
Hilarious find. I'm in agreement that you should torrent this somewhere.
I've got to find out why the Chinese think we're having sex when we're frustrated. Anyone get that?
Brilliant.
great stuff man , well done an thank you...
wtf?! guess the chinese are better off pirating videos than actually editing them.
My sides hurt from laughing so hard! I love it! How can I get my hands on a copy of this?
omg!! this is GREAT!! my best friend is currently in beijing and was disappointed to find SW would be released later in china than in the US. im not sure if shes seen it yet, but i sent her a link to your page. i know shes gonna get a kick out of this!!
that's awesome! I'd love a good DVD copy w/the double translations. Now if someone redubbed the audio to match those captions that'd be priceless!
Please, please fix the broken image links. I need to know the parts I am missing.
There are some good DVD rips out there if you have a newsgroup membership you should be able to find one no problem.
This is hilarious btw..
The Backstroke of the West and other translation... this is one of the best jokes :D
Thanks for posting it
You know, I couldn't care for Star Wars until now. You're awesome
- Laura M
total classic, please tell me you have more dodgy translations...
Tricksy troopseses, they wants the Precious!
re Darth Vader's wants.
There is no word in chinese that translates to "No"... you need a verb, like want.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Omigosh! These are soooo funny! I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud because I'm at work. It didn't work too well...
I am a "Jedi" like my father before me... Now why the heck didn't my father teach me cool stuff like telekinesis or Telepathy and how to see visions of my other family members at a distance or make them hear me without using a phone....HAH!
Good site :D
Great find! thanks for sharing it. This ended up posted on a forum I'm an admin on. A few of the pics were down, but the 70% that weren't were more than worth the visit. Who know the Presbyterian Church are the last bastion of the Jedi?
OH MY GOD. Yeah, I'll seed the torrent, too, for the rest of my life, this is so hilarious. I got this URL from a friend of mine, and am sending it to all the StarWars fans I know. DEFNINATELY a must-see. PLEASE torrent! Please please please!
shoshigana@yahoo.com
I laughed so hard I nearly sprayed coffee all over my screen.
Flash Walker has an iron jaw and a granite cock.
Hi. I cannot be bothered to scroll up and read all comments, but I think I managed to work out why the sub is as it is (for example, why the word 'elephant' appears at all...) in between bursts of laughter...Basically it is the English translated to proper Chinese, but a catastrophically bad and character by character translationi from that Chinese sub to this 'English' sub...
Good one though, I have to admit...but shameful. If they are going to pirate something, at least they should do it nicely...
Wow, an iron jaw AND a granite cock.
He has the makings of a champ...
coooooooooooockable.
Do not want!! troopsses no take precious!!
Do not want!!
hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha
im saving this page to HD and burning it on a cd and making 2 copies
hahahahahahahaha
lol great one. Like everyone said please rib this or something.
Yeah.. some pics are broken =(
It was funny though, I saw the whole thing before the bandwith was exceeded on a few of the images.
Am I the only one troubled by the fact that China refers to the Sith as the West and the Jedi Order as the Presbyterian Church?
need to alter some links you seem to have outsiders hotlinking your images elsewhere.
holy frickin crap!
I agree - this NEEDS to be torrented. I'll also offer to seed it, this is a treasure that deserves to be spread amongst the masses.
Absolute genius.
Wow, my Chinese fellows must have been on crack translating this. Or . . . they have a great sense of humor.
Well, I wish I could have this copy of RotS. I really do.
Face explode boom with big laughy of smilewide.
Dreamses and troopseses? Smeagol hates the hobitses!
+1 for torrent
Fan-fucking-tastic.
.....Nyargs.
Hell, I'll BUY a copy from you...please...moxy@tmbg.org
Well, the apparently random profanity might have something to do with the similarity between the Chinese for "do" and "fuck" - "R2, what are you doing?" could become "R2, what are you fucking?" or something of that nature.
Love that the Jedi council Chinese is translated back as Presbyterian Church. It makes some sense, actally -- the ideas of democracy (a real democracy) in which members elect their leaders from amongest themselves.
Huh. Anyway, I'll give that more thought than it deserves. I was raised Presbyterian, but no longer consider myself one. But finally something I can bring up at dinner that's unlikely to offend any of us. Hoo.
Awesome, by the way. Thanks for sharing.
I think I've seen one version of the original Chinese translations somewhere around, and really, the translations are perfectly fine. It's only when people try to literally translate the Chinese back into English that chaos ensue. It's hilarious, though.
wahahaha! this rocks so hard!
we saw something similar to this but the movie was Ben Stiller's dodgeball but this one beats it hands down!
I need a copy of this like like a junkie needs a fix. Please, somebody hook us up.
quote: If you're not gonna learn how to curse, you shouldn't bother with foriegn languages at all.
Heh...
You should totally rip this and have someone seed it on piratebay.org or torrentreactor.net so we can all enjoy it. :D
This is cool! hahaha In the Philippines though a DVD of any movie some aren't shown yet is worth 80 pesos about USD 1.20
Oh my god. I'm linking this on my website immediately.
presbyterian church is not the translation of jedi council but the translation of temple
Bad this is! I'm in pain now. Major pain. But it was fun.
I love "troopseses" - it implies some sort of multiple plural that is philosophically very interesting!
- Katta
Ok, im just laughing out loud here.
I can't stop laughing. You win 2.67 internets.
Yes, and I guess we americans are better at looking at the pretty pictures than reading the details.
Please post more engrish movies!!!!

Umm...when I click "here" it just links back to the first page...I don't see any screenshots anywhere :(
Hahaha WOW comedy gold right there! I gotta find this somewhere.

lemme me know if the torrent is up, i'll help you seed it!
Absolutely brilliant!
If you believe in social justice, please read this now! And pass on to
all your fellow activists! The new Star Wars movie (a clever name
based on Regan-era miltiary plans) called "Attack of the Clones" is
racist and conservative. We must stop this menace before it is too
late!
Please see this link:

To protest this injustice, we at the Democratic Socialists of America
are planning a teach-in and protest march on JUNE 22. Please meet us
in WASHINGTON DC to protest this racist movie, racism and the Zionist
occupation of Palestine.
It is a little known fact that George Lucas is a libertarian
(capitalist imperialist) who hates democracy and fantasizes how we
would be better off under a corporate white EMPIRE. His movies have
yet to portray a single African-American in a positive role, as the
few he has shown are criminals or dictators. Hopefull these actions
will pull the racist movie from theaters, though we will also petition
our democratically elected leaders to better regulate the imperialist,
greedy Big Movie industry to prevent future racist projects to be
produced.

Jerome, just an FYI: Libertarians are pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum from Fascists. Libertarianism is pro-democratic, pro-liberty and pro-equality. Fascists are pro-nationalized business and healthcare, pro-certain races over others and anti-jews. Also there is little evidence that Lucas is libertarian, he is probably a liberal Democrat which is neither libertarian nor fascist.
did u not want to c the english version first or did u think that this would make the film more exciting to watch? they probably should have more films like this- and then claim that ur intelligent if u can understand what is goin on while the stupid people like me don't have a clue wat is goin on!!!
some of it sounds a bit like smeagle from the lord of the rings
I enjoy a big fat juicy hot dog, man.
Imagine you're Chinese and didn't know a word of English and you only had the Chinese subtitles to rely on when watching foreign flicks. If that's how the Chinese subs actually read, they might have been scratching their heads all throughout.
Anyone in L.A. can get find a copy of this at "The Alley". Downtown near Pico and 11th.
That is sooo freaking funny!! As I read further I laughed harder. Had to show it to everyone, thanks for that bright spot in my day.

I love you. Seriously. I love you.
You made my day.
Hysterical does not BEGIN to describe my laughter XD. As a Chinese, I can see how it would have been fine in Chinese itself, but translated directly from Chinese into English...good God. I love it. I need a copy of it like fish need water to live. XD.
Oh dear god, I love those subtitles! I'd kill for a copy of that DVD! *^.^* I think you got your money's worth...and then some!
That seriously made my week. Or more.
It also made me seriously consider becoming a Presbyterian Knight.
I wish to thank you for the best laugh I have had in an extremely long time.
omfg this truely is one of the best weeks of my life and this will actually participate in making this such a fantastic week :D this ROX
HUMOR these pictures on screen make me funny I really enjoy
I know some chinese (I'm from Japan, and I spend a summer in China) and the lines from the true film wouldn't even be translated into those subtitles. Not even that poor. It's funny but I don't think it's accurate. I can retranslate just those scenes and most would be different. I think I found slightly accurate but "they want to know him at fuck" is a perfect example of a hoax.
This would be the real translation in the scene "they want to know him at fuck". This is such a hoax. It's mildly funny and you probbaly want visits to your blog and I'm all for humor but the trans isn't accurate.
Here's how that scene would really be translated.
ANAKIN: They want me to reconnoiter in chancellor? That' s treason! OBI-WAN: We are to the war, Anakin. The Jedi committee pledges the maintenance republic the principle, since chancellor does not do. ANAKIN: Why did The committee for me this duty works as we are at the conference? OBI-WAN: This duty not will be is recording. The committee requests me personally to approach you in this. ANAKIN: Chancellor is not one unprincipled person, the Obi WAN. His befriended I. He's watches for me after arrives here. OBI-WAN: Why is that you must help us, Anakin. We are loyal are to Senate, is not to tries for a long time to stay behind in the office its leadership expired after his deadline. ANAKIN: The master, Senate requests him for a long time to stay behind. OBI-WAN: Yes, but uses your feeling, Anakin. Something is stems from the place. ANAKIN: You' re requests me to do something opposes the Jedi code. Opposes the republic. Opposes the mentor. And friend. That's what' s stemming from place here. Why is you requests this me? OBI-WAN: The committee is requesting you
Wow... if you haven't already, you should definitely send this to Engrish.com. This is some of the funniest worst translations I've ever read. Ahh... tears came to my eyes...
Now guys. We all know that this is the Pacific Century with China ascendant. Chinese will be spoken everywhere soon. Chinese idioms and words will find their way into all Earth and out of the world languages. SITHtalk may just be the way "English as she is spoke" by then.
Many thanks for providing this, the paraamount in hilarity.
r2d2 is fucking? rofl
Hair projections? wtf lol u gotta rip it and torrent it or somthing, this is comedy gold man! you could put this in a movie theater but rip it! omg rip it
Hahaha, this is great! However, "in the elephant" was mentioned a couple times. I wonder what it is with this elephant and being inside it? Or whatever. But if anybody knows, please E-mail me at
ZelGreywers@aol.com
Thanks!
Love it!
can you please rip this and upload it to somewhere..wow that is absolutley histerical
That's some hilarius stuff. Nice find!
Wow. I usually don't even bother to follow links that ppl send me, most of them being so booooooring... But this was hilarious! My roommate thought I got crazy, the way I laughed. :-)
what can i say guys. this definitely got way past adam's office star wars mailing list.
many tens of thousands of sessions later i now know what it means to be 'boing boinged', 'metafiltered', and to have to wrestle with bandwidth issues.
to the couple of guys saying it's a hoax, it's not. anyone who has been here can attest to the fact that captions on new releases are usually quite inaccurate.
i had a copy of 'gangs of new york' in which the captionist seemingly got bored halfway through the movie and started giving shout-outs to his friends and rambling on about this and that- hilarious stuff. amit, did you watch it yet?
anyway, hope you all enjoyed. as for me, back to the daily grind....
Wow... I guess this is what Chinese people think were watching in America. I wonder where they got that from?
Those screen caps are the best ever! I need to get a copy of that! I plugged your entry on my blog:

I just had to pass it along.
Have a great day!

This is fake.
Someone added those on afterwards.
I am serious, i need to get a copy of that. I couldn't stop laughing. I am a huge fan of the original trilogy and did enjoy the 3rd installment but this is somehow befitting the attitude towards Lucas in my books. I WIL buy the legit copy when it comes out but I will definately buy THAT copy. The subtitles are PRICELESS. I need it. Hahaha...my god, Grevious's snappy comeback "smelly boy" had my stomach hurting. Great stuff indeed.
Possibly the greatest thing-a-majig made...BY HUMANS!
Bwahahaha! I think I pulled a muscle
Ah..so Darth Vader was in fact Singaporean! Dun Waaaaan! That actually makes a weird kind of sense :)
OMFG!!!!
this is a tip for buying dvds in china. u really have to check whether it's a copy of the original dvd, or so called 'dian2 ban3' or it's shot during the filming of the movie (ying3 ban3 or qiang1 ban3). only the former is worth buying but it's usu released later than the lousier version. however they will tend to bluff u when u ask, assuring u of the quality. you must check with a lot of people to be sure of this and must be patient.
this is great! XD
This may
This may have already been said up above, but in addition to being haunted by dreamses, it appears he may also be haunted by Gollum. It's those darn hobbitses... They took the one light saber of power!
There is something more to this. The Sith are "The West", Anakin is "Allah Gold", and the Jedi is the "Presbyterian Church". Hmm...
Too much fun. Too much amusing. Tears rolled down my cheeks, my stomach hurt, and I got hiccups out of laughing. My friends and I got a great laugh here in Argentina. :D
Oh my god.. this is hilarious.
I believe the Chinese-to-English translation was done by some machine translation software. In Chinese "fuck" and "do" are the same word and the machine might have confused them. Cannot figure out where those "elephant"s come from, however.
this is really funny. Just so everyone knows cuckold means to be made a fool of by having your wife cheating on you. I have no idea where they got that translation. :p thanks for the post, it cheered up my bad day.
Too damned funny.
Oh my god... that's brilliant!
I've linked to this page at theringworld.com's forums. If you would like me to remove the link, e-mail at celso_pro@hotmail.com
The chinese rule. I watched Kill Bill 2 on chinese dvd and the subtitles were just as hilarious, f.e. "Tommy" was "Plum rice" etc. Thanks for posting this!
Dude... i knew Lucas' dialouge was bad, but this! Do not waaaaaant! Im using that instead of "no" now.
I wish all of the pictures would show. I NEED MORE!
owch.. brilliant (in a warped way)! not sure when i'll be able to stop laughing! :-D
muahahah... it's really hilarious indeed... :) i felt like my stomach wanna burst... hahahhahaha wtf
lol
Brilliant! Thanks so much for making the effort to post this.
Move over Star Wars kid!
my mandarin is bad but I can tell its real: they obviously used "xi", or shi as sith which means west, and a few other things
XD this is way i luv HK dvds!
Wow! That stuff is hilarious. Your site sure has gotten popular. To those saying it's a hoax, actually these mistranslations are entirely plausible. Like Sith can become West because it's ?? (west special) or something like that, and Anakin becomes ??? (ah accept gold) maybe...
lolz0rz!
roflmaomgwtfbbq!!
Very nice translation huh?
This is one of the worst and the funniest translations i have ever seen in my whole life, as I have learnt that this is direct english translation from chinese. Thank you very much for taking these screenshots...
ROFL nice entry...
Oh darn this is so hilarious! Please post this as a torrent somewhere. Really great! Keep up the good work!
Lol. Well, a friend of mine posted a link to this on a baord, and since I'm the main admin, I check out all links as to make sure nothing voids the contract I have with the board. Well, I recently had my appendix out, and was laughing a horribly large amount due to this... It was worth the pain XD
R2, do you is fucking, great stuff, thanks =)
LOL it's hilarious!! XD thanks a lot for posting that.
Love all that.
funny. can someone please explain why the chinese star wars had to be translated back into english? was it dubbed in chinese?
XD THAT IS HECKA FUNNIE
-- JessyChan
One of the funniest things ever.
Wow. I’m impressed…
I am laughed too
out louder to this
is posting!
Any chance of seeing just the subs ripped with DVDSub? It can rip the subs into a small text file and then when the official DVD comes out, millions of people could enjoy Backstroke of the West as it was originally intended.
... I know I'd appreciate it :)
hi rentahero,
that should be ok- no worries about copyright issues as i doubt a chinese bootlegger will sue me. i downloaded subrip but i can't figure out how to extract all of the subtitles- it goes line by line.
can you send me a copy of dvdsub and some instructions? i'll rip the subtitles and put them up. if you have any directions as to how people can somehow use it for their copies, let me know and i'll put up the instructions too- or link to your page.
thanks,
jeremy
wow. this is the funniest thing I've read/seen in a long time...
engrish gets me everytime.
this is halarious!!!XD i want a copy of this if there is a torrent for it!!!
I have the link for this posted from a frend of explosive, an Englys-Finnish transistor like i(he also movie freek big).
He should been warning me! I feer that my crisp of englys linguistic is have impaires permonthly!
aitokari@mappi.helsinki.fi
i'll give you five bucks for it.
Wow...I've never seen that happen on a DVD b4...WAY too funny and WAY too muc h mistakes....ROFL
Whoops, yeah, SubRip was what I meant. It goes line by line for awhile but then once you've input examples for the whole font, it zooms through the rest and outputs a text file that can be used to reconstruct the subs on a DVD. You can also make a .sup file (which is the actual subtitle data the DVD players use) using a tool called VOBEdit (http://www.ifoedit.com/). Just open the VOB files on the DVD (by selecting the first one) and then hit Demux, and tell it to demux all Subp streams, and then it should output the files to your HD.
i've seen some south asian subtitles that are really bad, but this takes the cake.
who gets paid to this!!!
i want that job!!
