Japanese X68000 Game Disc Warnings Amuse

Thanks to NFG.2y.net for its new feature cataloging the amusing-looking floppy disc warnings featured on classic game sleeves from the Sharp X68000 Japanese computer. Highlights include the Capcom sleeve illustrations, where "the Street Fighter 2 characters exhorted you to take good care of your floppies", as well as some strange warnings from Japanese developer Zoom, including the suggestions that users "don't bathe with your floppy", and a cautionary tale about dropping your hardware.

As an American, I really have to speak out: why is it the Japanese are always made fun of for their (admittedly "creative") English? How many Americans can speak Japanese? How many Americans can speak another language even (not to mention how many can speak anything other than the German/Latin/French/Spanish poorly taught in high school)? The average American doesn't have an idea of any culture outside of their own.

So, get back to me when you can hobble together a sentence or two in Japanese.
