As u probably know the slogan of the gamecube is "Get CUBED" but its translation in French is strange ...

(only for french ppl)

Encubez-vous .....

Je sais pas c'kis ont fumé au service marketing de nintendo france, mais ..... putain , ca va etre marrant si c vrai!

C'est déjà mieux qu''enculez-vous', quoique les grosses compagnies comme Nintendo connaissent bien le sens de 'on vous encule'

 

[Arpanet]

eh... ca veut dire quoi encubez-vous? je ne suis qu'un americain stupide, je ne sais rien moi...

OK,here we go for a little translation:
you see in french "Encubez-vous" is really close of "Enculez-vous" which means "F-u-c-k yourself"

I guess you see why it would be funny to see that slogan on advertisement .

lololool
thkx 4 the explanation

No wonder the translator couldn't make sense of that
Still I guessed this was what it meant from the rough transation it made of YoD's post
