A huge amount of broken English looks like someone's glanced at what should be written, and then tried to copy the shapes of the letters, with no real knowledge of English. Sadly, Beijing seems intent on stamping out all the hilarious Chinglish in advance of the 2008 Olympics - I read in China Daily that the Chinese think foreigners are insulted and can't understand the bad English. On the contrary, it's comprehensible and a constant source of amusement! In this case, it's pretty easy to see what's going on:
