While browsing my friend's cyworld, there was this hilarious picture of Korean brand name parodies (some of them appear on shirts at the local street markets). I translated most of them ... but some of it was hard going from Konglish -> Korean -> English. Anyways, try to figure what brand names they're parodying XD

Translation

Pama = Perm

Jana? = Are you Sleeping?

Jornan = (조난) = Kind of means to be in a sticky situation. Hence the helicopter saving the Jumpman

Peha = (폐하) = Your Majesty

Imma = Slang word for “You son of a B…” And hence the big puma about to smack the little puma

Hama = (하마) = hippo

Biman = (비만) = Fatso

Akma = Demon

Koppa = Pick your Nose

Oppa Nappa = This is messed up. Literally it means “You’re bad, old brother (it’s an honorific term though, and the two don’t have to be related.) Basically, the man on the right had his way with the girl on the left. : [ not the most tasteful parody I’ve seen.

Saja = Lion

Pina = Bleeding

Ssaum (a parody of Korea’s popular search engine Daum) = Fighting

Peeegone = Tired

Mike = Mic XD

[image loading]


Edit:
Some questions:
1. Does anyone here a deviantart account? I made one, so let's be friends XD
2. I played b-ball with someone from teamliquid during the summer at oracle (smart dude, went to MIT). If you're that guy, how've you been?

It just means it's not Puma. I have a shirt from China that is NKIE and says NAB instead of NIKE and NBA.

@ Lurker:
most parody shirts that deliberately make fun of a brand (as opposed to accidentally misspelling something) are sold in huge street markets. it's kind of hard to find a specific parody, but you can do what these vendors do: make it yourself
