Yes, Jeff, you am!
"Chinglish" is a common site in China - English signs with less-than-perfect translations. Though they provide a lot of unintended entertainment, Shanghai is working on fixing them before the World Expo starts (in May.) (More on that here: http://www.cityweekend.com.cn/shanghai/articles/blogs-shanghai/cw-radar/interview-icss-chinglish-guru/.) Not sure how far they'll get with that - we see examples of this on a daily basis, especially as the desire to attract English speakers grows. But, this is one of my favorite examples, found on an advertisement in the Hongqiao airport over October break.
