Why does thailand have a sperm language?
Just in case you want a sober answer - it has a lot of tones to describe - Thai words change meaning depending on tone, so there's all sorts of 'modifiers' in the writing rather than simple letters. So those 'sperm' change the meaning of whatever character they are next to. You can't read Thai without knowledge of how it sounds. I lived there for several years as a child and picked absolutely nothing up.

I know the English phonetic pronounciations don't always translate properly because they have a lot of syllables we don't. If I'm remembering correctly what was explained to me, it's not always 'proper' in written Thai either. They just try to get it as close as possible.

Look closer. Particularly the areas pointed out by the arrows.

I don't think it was funny. I get what they were going for, but the lame jokes (ok, I didn't get many of them, I guess), the awful 'art' and the abysmal writing all conspire to fail.

Replace "Gaming Skill" with Excel Skill" on the y-axis and I would have laughed. Still... not bad.
