TURTLE HEAD POWER: Japanese sticker gags

By in 11-05-2009 12:20 am

I should start up some regular posts about Japanese drift stickers again, since there are so many great ones kicking about.

The characters 攻めの４亀頭　written on the sticker are pronounced “seme no yon kitou”, which would normally mean “attack with all four cylinders!”

However, the characters for “cylinder” (気筒) have been replaced with the characters for “turtle head” (亀頭), which are written differently, but can also be pronounced “kitou”.

I think you can guess the rest.

The fact that it’s turbo doesn’t hurt either!
