Downloadable Gibberish Asian Fonts

Patrick emailed me this fantastic find from Simplythebest.net.
It is a free downloadable “Japanese Font”.

Notice the inconsistency of whether it is “Japanese” or “Asian” font between its title and first sentence in the description?

Anyone who has the very basic knowledge of Chinese or Japanese language would know there is no such thing as “Kanji alphabet”.

Plus, the font table is nothing but a bunch of random simplified Chinese characters. Not to be confused with the "example" shown above, font table looks like this.

Even though this is not the same font used in Marquis Daniels or that Finnish racist’s tattoo, it may explain why and how incorrect tattoos are generated with.

"Child Offering God"


http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A60302/high/bmepb233296.jpg

The only caption this March 2nd photo had was “my beautiful tat” in BMEzine’s Kanji tattoo gallery.

Assuming the first characters is a butchered (offspring, child) and last character (spirit, god) has somehow split into two parts. Since in Japanese, 子供 【こども】 means "child; children", therefore roughly translates as “child offering god” or "children god". (thanks Paul).

I don’t know if that is a good idea for a young lady to advertise herself as “child offering god”, unless she is in the business of selling her eggs or being a surrogate mother.
