"Strange" ads in Taiwan

The dachshund is also sometimes referred to as weiner dog, hot dog, or sausage dog. In Chinese, its official translation means "sausage dog."

That brings us to the above sign, which is hung underneath the store sign of a pet store in a row of pet stores. Roughly translated, the sign reads:

"Racing class long-haired sausage"

(Racing class, racing grade, or whatever. I'm not up on dog breeding vernacular.)

When my sister saw this sign, unaware of its surroundings, she commented, "Ew! Why would anyone want to eat hairy sausages?"

Context is important, folks.
