Les Ananas Ne Parlent Pas

Image text: 파인애플들은 말안해요
Intended translation: Pineapples don't talk!

This image is, of course, a reference to the French TV series Téléfrançais that was produced by TVOntario back in the day (before I was born). The line "les ananas ne parlent pas" (pineapples don't talk) is repeated frequently in the first episode of the series. Apparently, there are a lot of people in Canada who know this one French line without knowing anything else in the language.

In my attempt to translate the phrase into Korean, I ran into a couple grammatical things I hadn't seen before. In particular, I needed to figure out how to negate a verb (I'm using the '안' particle-like-thingamajig here) and how pluralization works (I went with tacking on a '들' before the '은' subject identifier). Is any of this correct? I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later.

"jjiktta"

찍다: to spear, to stamp, to take a picture.
카메라: camera
창: spear

Edit: I guess I drew more of a 'stomp' than a 'stamp' but you can think of it as his foot stamping that thing's face with a footprint, maybe? Also, the thing that's being speared is supposed to be 물고기 (fish).
