"All your base are belong to us"
is what's written in every LCD image on this site.

That does it means? Is it simply my native-french/poor-english that jsut don't get it?

Thanks,

that phrase is from an old Sega game that was poorly translated from Japanese to English.

You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_b ... long_to_us

I especially suggest watching the videos that people have made. They're quite funny! :)

SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB!
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME!!

When correctly translated, it should be something like:

We have captured all of your bases.

Now, seeing as how I've just corrected a phrase that has been immortalized by being incorrect (yet, somehow, still making sense), I'll probably be banished from earth for all eternity.

Oh my.. there's a wikipedia entry for "All you base.."!?! I dunno if I should be surprise though.
