DEAR VICE - SEXY STYLE VOGUE

Dear Vice,
Jokes about the Asian misuse of "Engrish" are a bit tired, but the seriousness on this guy's face, in spite of the comical T-shirt he's wearing, is still pretty jokes. Wifey does not look best pleased with hubby's whole look. Which is kind of understandable considering that they're posing for family photographs outside Beijing's Forbidden City. Saying that, it was shorts weather.

Here's some more odd lingo I came across in China, but I think that this has more to do with totalitarianism than bad translation. The photo shows the rules and regulations for people boarding the cable car that takes visitors up to The Great Wall of China.

Rule II.2 bars people who have a fear of heights and hypertension, as well as "habitual abortion woman."

Rule IV.3 prohibits visitors from carrying "things which are super-long, ultra-high, extra large or overweight."
