The broken Russian reads more like an advertisement to buy the real thing. Until you have supplied that quote I had no idea, even though I saw this picture.

Hm, indeed, can be interpreted this way, if you imagine commas at right places.

If you care, enough to steal, the real best.

(The word "настоящий" used as the translation of "very" means "real". For the rest we can leave the original english words and with commas even have some similar broken language effect)

The Russian is too broken to be comprehensible, so the burn doesn't work as well as it could. The equivalent broken English would be something like: "SVAX: when you whaaant enough steal genuine best". Yes, it's just as difficult to parse the Russian.
