What do you think?

Perhaps not as bad a depiction as Bugs Bunny nips the Nips from 1944, but then again that was WWII.

Wow, and even my Korean husband is embarrassed at that lunacy Embarassed

Bad. But not as gay as the one that ends with a shot of the classroom filled with obviously non-Asian students gawking at a map highlighting Tok Do. "OK kids, let's show Korea the world gives a *beep*."

I forgot to mention that it was one of the ads played before watching War of the Worlds yesterday. In the middle of a number of normal ads, BANG! Buck-toothed Japs on a ship trying to take Dokdo.

Hey, if that doesn't convince you that Dokdo is Korean territory, what will?

Who in the world could EVER think that that was an acceptable way to make an advertisment?

I don't know which is worse--using robotic concepts obviously ripped from Japanese anime, or showing that this great patriotic protection of Dokdo is for the benefit of a bunch of seagulls.

Korea won't take it to the International court because They think it is there's so there is no need to take it there.

also there is the fear that they would lose. They think Japan will win because it is a richer country and that the emporer is related to one of the 15 members sitting on the international court.

That's the commercial that's been playing in movie theaters for at least a month. So it made it to TV?

That was a really stupid comercial.

Movie audiences seem to enjoy it.
