No Wonder Shopping Feels So Good

Courtesy of engrish.com, the hilarious website that features the fractured english that adorns merchandise and advertising in Japan and elsewhere in the non-english-speaking world, comes this shopping bag from the Wing On department store chain based in Hong Kong:



I was all ready to make fun of the language....but the more I read it, the more I felt....damn! Doesn't that exactly describe the shopping experience for most people! "Look it, taste it, feel it and get it. Then please touch yourself in your original way. Now you can see you are fresh and pure, can't you?"

Yes, that's it! The thrill of the search, the discovery, the sensual handling of the object, the orgasmic pleasure of making it yours, and then finally the sweet soul-cleansing as your new acquisition washes away your troubles and your sins, if only for those few short moments before the next unfulfilled desire takes control....
