Happy Valentine's Day in hysterically mistranslated Chinese

www.boingboing.net/2005/02/..._day.html

This edible Valentines' Day treat is wrapped in bright foil stamped with exotic Asian characters for extra-sexy flair. Its giver probably does not know what those characters really mean. Tian says:
"[W]hen I first saw this... I was stunned and speechless. It literally means "crazy diarrhea" in both Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji."
