<p>I think the creator want to say " see entertainment festival today" so he put it into google translate or see dictionary word by word, but he doesn't realize the grammar was totally wrong. After that some Chinese point that problem but too late, so the only thing can do is refuse to admit that error, just telling people that Chinese was mean less or just for fun.</p>

<p>It is meaningless machine translation. If you see the news report at <a href="http://www.japanprobe.com/2011/10/16/superdry-popular-uk-fashion-brand-uses-gibberish-japanese/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.japanprobe.com/2011/10/16/superdry-popular-uk-fashion-brand-uses-gibberish-japanese/</a> the company deliberately inserted gibberish Japanese text in a similar fashion to the Japanese practices of inserting nonsense English texts to decorate products. 今日/娱乐/节目 would be correct Chinese.</p>

I know, i used the kanji tag though in my post because kanji are characters borrowed from Chinese so theoretically knowing the Chinese meaning of them should be enough to predict the meaning in Japanese even though the pronunciation is different. Thanks.

How do you know it's jibberish? Did an English speaker do a poor translation? If so, then how should the kanji on the t-shirt be properly assembled for the intended meaning on the t-shirt to make sense?

And Chinese characters can mean completely different things in japanese. Examples: Toilet paper (Ch) <-> letter (J), boring (Ch) <-> free of charge (J), and more.

SuperDry is a British company that uses machine translated Chinese and Japanese to decorate its products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperGroup#Image . The kanji I mentioned is 手紙, i was actually wrong about the second example 無料, which just doesn't mean anything in Chinese.

@JackMaddington The proper order should be 今日娱乐节目 -- entertaiment program of today.
