This quote from a Kotaku editor was hilarious.
Mini-Bash: Daddy, do you like herpes?
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Herpes.
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Yes, do you like him?
Me: Him?
Mini-Bash: Yes, Herpes. The swimmer. In the Olympics.
Me: Herpes in the Olympics?
Mini-Bash: For America.
Me: Oh. You mean Phelps?!
Mini-Bash: Herpes.
Me: Yeah, Herpes is a great swimmer.
In Japanese, “Phelps” is pronounced “Ferupusu” (フェルプス). And “herpes” is “Herupesu”(ヘルペス).
Hahahahaha.
