The French translation is never word for word of the English version.  I will have fun with this thread!

"Enjoy 'em with water blaster!" Very odd indeed.

To help our English friends here, let just say that in French "Jouissez" means "enjoy" in an orgasmic sexual way...  :wink:  :lol:

I find this funny on a different level.

Seeing how many Transformer fans have had issues when Hasbro can't be bothered to check google while naming products, we have others using weak goolge translations causing problems.

And sexual references in both situations.  :lol:

At least they have tried to fix that one. Official Hasbro still hasn't changed Nexus Maximus.

It shares the same name as a "toy" that is only available at "Adult" based retailers.

Designed primarily for the ladies it is definitely not for kids.
