Kinda in honor of Endmaster, I decided to put the first page of one of his stories *Bonus points if you can figure out which* through the Bad Translator 18 times. Because my computer is shit and it only lets me put in 250 characters, I only got a segment, but here it is, behold it!

 -Verbal entered into time? Where is the current situation in the world. Really, you want to do, even though I'm a little crazy, and finally in court? I like the speed, ombres, in an interview on this topic. I'm sorry that you don't? You are now in charge. Char. .. Selected ... Is there something? Today, like most of the soldiers. About. Why are you the President? If this is the answer, I think, that on the Earth, because we come in that time. Is It Really True? The country that is always with him? If a man to remember, we are only open again, or something like that? There's a good audience!: Hello, Hello, ... 

I'm going to say Geek or Paradise Violated.

Or if that translator is just that bad. Eternal

Ground Zero

EDIT: It's the beginning of the story where the protagonist is flipping through the channels before he falls asleep.

Ah I see it now.

"There's a good audience." is the give away.

Either paradise violated or a scene from necromancer with time boy.

I'm interested to know what you translated it to/from/through...

I bet it was Japanese. XD

Endmaster was right, it's the channel-flipping scene from Ground Zero. Maybe I should have translated it more....

"Cow goes "moo", pig goes "oink", your mom goes "moo", penguin says "Fuck you, mustaches!", but what does the fox say?"

"Damn penguins native to Gvardiol Kvìkì, he said."

No, but seriously.. what DOES the fox say?

sorta like ACK-ACK-ACK  or Dingdingdingdingding

Somethin like dat. Or so what i've HEARD

The fox makes more than one sound, it just doesn't have an onomatopoeia for it. Poor fox. There's videos up online with real examples. It scared my aunt, because she thought it sounded like a person screaming. I think it sounds like that, and a cross between a dog's bark and a wolf's howl.

He's referring to this travesty:

Oh I get it now. I think I heard part of it on the radio. I didn't know it's a viral video, too.

Everything is a video online, doesn't mean it's popular.

Found this joke somewhere, forgot where, but it has onomatopoeia in it.

Dr.: You have herpes, chlymadia, gonorrhea, and onomatopoeia.

Patient: Oh no! What's onomatopoeia?

Dr.: Exactly what it sounds like.

Here is something I got from it.

"Today I saw a chicken. He was purple."

...27 translations later, Bing gives us:

"I found the chicken than at present. Red."
