Chinese Vs. English

My trip to China opened my eyes a little more to the various aspects of Chinese. Admittedly, this is more of a Chinese > English post as it has no pro-English points. Then again, we people using English on the internet are so smug about it already, it needs none. Without further ado...

Reason #1: Nnnnnnnooooooo mmmmmmeeeeeessssssaaaagggggeeeeeesssss llllllliiiiiikkkkkkeeeee ttttttthhhhhiiiiiissssss!
I mean, that's enough reason by itself. Okay, extending the vowels might make some half-sense but how the hell do you pronounce:
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha!"
or
"PpppppppppppplzZzzzzzzz!"

(Yes, some of you will point out that this is possible in pinyin. I will point out that no Chinese uses pinyin when they can write actual characters. Pinyin is for us illiterate Americans.)

Reason #2: In Chinese, you pronounce pork as: "Jew ro"
Yes, pork is the Jewish meat.
I don't know about you guys, but I sense a conspiracy about to be unveiled!

Reason #3: In English, when you flip someone the bird, that's the same as giving them the finger, or fingering them.
And if it's a guy, that's just gay.
AND WE ALL KNOW BEING GAY IS BAD AND EVIL RIGHT GAIS I MEAN GUYS

Reason #4: 靠草或微笑。
霸道过哦哦过了染得欧美我的。咯了有冬天可能哦我问哈天天喝哈哈哈哈。

Reason #5: [Censored by Chinese government]

Reason #6: [Censored by Chinese government]

  1. If you're going to post Chinese, using Google Translate will not work. Here's a translation of what you said:

    "Close grass or smile. The way of the despot crossing oh oh crossing infected the US and EU mine. Gurgle has winter can oh oh ask ha every day ha ha ha ha.

  2. Didn't use Google Translate for that, just typed gibberish on my pinyin -> characters program.
