I am not trying to make fun of anybody!!!
There is a reasonably funny site that has english translations of japanese products. It's just like if you translate a page from another country, the language doesn't always translate evenly to how we speak. Therefore it can sound funny! Having gotten that out of the way, check this out for some humorous items. Of course some that just aren't that funny either.
