Puns or parody

At first I thought the Japanese were just doing daft things with the English language, but after wandering by clothing stores with names like 'Double Standard Clothing', and 'Injeaneas' and the cocktail bar called 'Bar:ah'ghe' I'm now wondering who is playing semantic mind games with whose language... I may never know... here's a few of my favourites so far...

first the fine 'girl about town' store....



the wonderful and tempting sports drink...



the pickled tidbits store



possibly my favourite and possibly most inexplicable...



nothing much to say apart from 'me too'



and who can argue that when it comes to advertising canned cold coffee that two Tommy's are better than one
