Attention Your Head, Pandas with Guns

Brief picture-post. Today we jumped the metro down to Xinjiekou, one of the trendy new downtown shopping areas of Nanjing (which is simultaneously deeply under- and impressively above-ground). It provided ample opportunity for us to ogle at further examples of entertaining mistranslations and hilariously odd cultural imagery.

Below are two mildly funny signs from Xinjiekou, a Pepsi bottle sporting a teenaged Shredder, and a Beijing Olympics panda-ish kind of character who happens to have a gun.

what is a Shredder, something like a roller derby queen?
