Wow, slick move. A real fluke that someone noticed, because obviously if you speak Spanish that must mean you don't speak English at all, and vice versa.

If anyone mentions how the Jews must be especially to blame for this, I swear to god.

Huh? How??

Check out the post about Django action figures. Be prepared for wank.

Ouch...I only skimmed that one and didn't read the comments before... o.O'

[zinnia_rose]

Yeah. I'm still not quite sure wtf happened...

[zinnia_rose]

What an immensely shitty thing to do. And what, did they think there are no bilingual people in Milford at all so they'd just be able to get away with it?

[maladaptive]

That's what I thought, then realized that it's more likely they just didn't care.

[zinnia_rose]

Yeah, there's that too. :/

[amyura]

Seriously. I don't even speak Spanish, just French, but there are enough cognates that even I can tell how WILDLY different the signs are in the different languages.

[gretchystretchy]

Wow, that is some sneaky fucked up shit.

[sandstorm]

I'm glad this scheme came to light.

Since this doesn't surprise me at all. I find myself irritated that the Spanish grammar is wrong.

Should be usted, not ustedes since debe is singular.

But then again not surprised about that either.

[zinnia_rose]

LOL, so true. I guess racists aren't too worried about their grammar.

[nycscribbler]

Or deben. "ustedes deben" would make sense in context.

I feel an urge to attack it with accent marks, too.

or just put "debe tener un..." I don't know, but the sign sounds so weird... like, google translate weird xD
