Something stupid... and something else that's also stupid

I was reading that clothes catalogue and saw the shirt on the following picture. I thought it looked nice until I noticed that something about it was fundamentally wrong.
Can you spot it?



Holy shit, the writing is backwards T_T [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi was arguing that maybe they just put the photo the wrong way, but if you look at the label in the neck, you'll see that it is not mirrored. So, I'm right and the people at Bon Prix are stupid ;)

There's been news about the airing (or non-airing) of Doctor Who in this country. Apparently, and quite contrary to what everyone believed, they've only just now acquired season 2 and are dubbing it right now (Someone's busy, I suppose?). So, no airing before 2008. And, just to add that fact, the series had at one point been announced to air in 2006. Er... dumbasses. The poor people who depend on dubs. Glad I'm not one of 'em.

It's not backwards, it's sideways! If you turn it 90 degrees counter-clockwise, they took writing that was written left-to-right and made it vertical, without flipping the letters to write vertically. The character in the middle that looks like a backward kana for "he" is actually a sideways "ku"!

But you're right; that shirt company is pretty stupid! :-)
