Pu-rla-ne-to A-su
I was watching TV in the dining room of the hotel we stayed at last weekend, and a nature show was on. When the katakana "pu-rla-ne-to a-su" came on, I started to laugh. Very hard.
I was sitting with a Japanese friend and she asked what was funny. I wrote down the katakana (by now it was no longer on the screen), and asked her to read it.
"Prla-ne-to a-s."
"Right."
"Planet Earth, right?"
"Right. What's funny about that?"
"It also says 'Planet Ass.'"
Not knowing the definition of "ass," I explained it to her, as I pictured a giant pink rear end floating through space.
By far, the best katakana-ization of any English yet.
