Lost in Translation

There are some (well... much more then some) videos, posters, advertisement, made in Poland, which are based on a certain local sense of humor and, most of all, language jokes, which cannot be translated to English without losing their point.And which I would really like to post but I can't because nobody will understand.
However....

This one was emitted in exactly this version in TV, and obviously - we dont speak Japanese. But still... its understandable.

There is always room for making jokes from other nations, this time, English. That beer was supposed to be cider - like (which was quite a new stuff on our market ).

Gantz

GantZ is Japanese comic book and animated series, written by Hiroya Oku.
All characters of the stories have just died and woke up in some strange place and received an order - to kill a pointed person (referred as alien) or to die trying. What for? Why me? What exactly is happening? - nobody knows.
Story characters are not superheroes, but ordinary people confronted with a situation which is completely beyond their understanding and capabilities. The world they just have left was cruel, brutal, and lacked of justice, but now they found themselves to be in much bigger troubles they could have ever possibly imagined.
And oh, I don't reckon that the author have ever heard about something called 'happy ending'.

Suicide Girls

Suicide Girls is a website that features photos of goth, punk, pin-up models. Site works also as a community, with text profiles of those girls.
Ideology behind that was incredibly simple - as the creators, Sean Suhl and Selena Mooney have said 'just to see hot punk-rock girls naked', but the site became incredibly successful, and even was mentioned in popular crime story CSI:New York.
However, origin of the name is quite interesting - Ms.Mooney explains that:
"Suicide girls is a term my friends and I had been using to describe the girls we saw in Portland's Pioneer Square with skateboards in one hand, wearing aminor treat hoodie, listening to Ice Cube on their iPods while reading a book of Nick Cave's poetry. They are girls who didn't fit into any conventional sub-culture and didnt [sic] define themselves based on musical taste like punk, metal, goth, etc. I think the only classifications right now people identify with are mainstream and outside of mainstream. That is why the site is called SuicideGirls."

Vintage Erotica

Well, what to do - it always existed.

Orion telescopes

Orion telescopes add by creative agency of University of Texas. Totally didn't expect Americans have distance to themselves and even a sense of humour, especially in Texas.

Olympic torch evolution

I think I like Chinese most - and just because it is clear at the first sight that it's Chinese.
Nobody else gave it such strong personality - and maybe because Chinese art is different and therefore easier to recognize.

Propaganda

It appears propaganda still works.

Horror Show

Dark humour.
Cheap horrors, zombies, vampires, devils, psychopats, boobs and bloodbaths are actually a part of the pop-culture.
Finnish group Lordi and british Cradle of filth perfected this kind of show, and, basically, don't consider themselves too serious...

Tarot

Symbols on symbols on symbols. Each color have a meaning, each detail is where-it-must-be.
Something like graphic design.
Let's say Devil -
1.Main character - the Devil - is drawn en face, which shows its force and dominance.
2.Two smaller figures - man and woman - are slaves, and their pasiveness is exaggerated by animal attributes -horns and tails. Their postures represent lack of harmony, lack of control, impulsive, instinctive natures of their characters.
3.Their chains (ties) represent submission to the materialistic and phisical desires, surrender to the dark forces, they are just slaves of devil.
4.In this context, dominant blue color is a color of depression and escape.

Myth

Book covers about mythologies from all around the world. Legible type, same black background for every of them, but different picture from traditional art, and different pattern.
