This sounds like typical 'Japanglish.' We see it every day, when ever the Japanese try to translate advertising. For some reason, they will spend thousands on design but refuse to spend pennies on proof-reading. This billboard for 'Polish Sausage' sandwiches is all over the city. They must have printed thousands of them, but never bothered to have the spelling checked by a Native English Speaker.
