  • It's not considered racist in Japan.

  • I used eMobile. I tried to cancel service and they said to call back in January as I couldn't without paying a charge. I called back in January, and they said I couldn't cancel as my contract had been renewed. Terrible company. I wish Japan's legal system had some consumer protection!

  • HEHEHE. Me, too.

    

  • I thought this was really obama for a second

  • @ameenmutha HEHEHE. Me, too.

  • 日本人は人類差別を意識に毎日やっている。本当にさいやくな国だ­!

  • Are you serious? Why do you think Japanese bring up the term, "Yellow Monkey" to foreignors? Do you really think they don't know about our history? They are taught from middle school on about racism in the U.S.; they know our history better than most Americans! You are a food KakashiHatake2121! 本当に馬鹿やろうね!

  • Lol!! Not racist

  • lol! was Obama even mentioned in this ad?

  • "That monkey is to EMobile as the gecko is to Geico. Moreover, Japanese people generally don’t know that black people and monkeys have a nasty history. We just think monkeys are cute and Obama is awesome." - Lisa Shoreland, half japanese, half american.

  • ironic, we thnk of Japanese as subhuman apes.

  • @8thprecinct Do we???

  • Japan is definitely racist (at least, this is true of a lot of older folks). However, the monkey is this company's mascot. It's not like they just pulled it out to be douchebags to black people. So, hilarious overreaction.

    If you want to see racist, watch Japanese daytime tv shows. Especially if you're white. Enjoy that portrayal (personally, I think it's funny, but it's still totally racist).

  • This isn't racist. The monkey is loved in Japan and is the company in this commercial mascot. Typical of American media to blow everything out of proportion.

  • wtf?

  • BTW what song is that? i like that song lol

  • That monkey would make a better president.

    patriotupdateDOTcom/9469/obama­-threatens-to-hold-up-social-s­ecurity-checks

    BTW I voted for McCain.

  • In Japan monkeys are referred to as gods, it isn't really a racist commercial.

  • The foreigner never needs to come to Japan.

  • I really don't think they picked the monkey because Obama is black. I think they picked the Monkey because a) all politicians are monkeys or b) everybody loves monkeys.

  • Comment removed

  • ook ook eek eek gnomesayin?

  • Fuck korea

  • I love the Japs even more now..cause I HATE our president and this commercial is fucking golden!

  • It's not racist if it's true.

  • NIce, they have it right, obama is a monkey

  • This is not Obama! THIS IS COMBINATION OF OBAMA AND STEVE JOBS (Note: He got a phone and showing out at the audience).

  • なぜオ◯マにしたんでしょうか⁇

    アイデア的には好きなんだけどな~

  • change my ass obama ...

  • If it weren't in Japanese, I would've thought it was a Tea Party ad.

  • my life is now complete. thank you japan

  • that's not racism, it's MONKEYISM. Poor monkey, it's a shame that Obama impersonates him.

  • OBAMA'S BLACK? RACISM!!!

  • これは、被害妄想だな。

  • They couldn't get Obama so the next best thing was a chimp :/

  • Haha ape.

  • @SilentScreamer18 In Japan, the monkey is a revered animal, not a means of dehumanizing a certain group of people. If you weren't so ignorant of Japanese culture, you would have realized this.

  • @HallmarkJD i live i japan dipshit, have for a while お前の方は日本の歴史とか文化とか勉強した方がよくね?だってて­いめぇのコメントはマジバカみたいだな~ワラ

  • We Japanese don`t have any image of Negroid=monkey...

    That is only in USA.

  • @charly345mstl well they wouldn't make this commercial if they're not..

  • @charly345mstl そしたけさ、ニガーっていう言葉の意味ってなんだろ?あと、黒人­の漢字だけでどう読めばいいんだろ?黒= black 人= person 日本人はこの世界中の一番人種差別的な人々が多いというんじゃね­?俺だって外国人だけで毎日のように”「連日連夜」なんか警察に­ストップされるし。。。も一つは、どのように日本の人々がニガー­として黒人を表示していないと言えるだろ?

  • @SilentScreamer18

    それを言うなら白人も白(White)人(Person)だし、­そもそも日本には◯◯人という呼び方があるでしょう?

    (Ex.アメリカ人、中国人、イタリア人、etc...)古い時­代(まだ日本が開国していない頃)に外国から来た人達と自分たち­の身体的特徴と比べた時の違いから呼び名を決めただけですよ。 というか、何故黒人(Black person)という名前だけで差別になるのですか? アメリカ人やヨーロッパ人がアジア人をYellow monkeyと呼んだり黒人をNiggerと呼んだりするのとは­違うのです。

    日本人は黒人や白人の方に対する差別心ってのはありませんよ。

    特に、白人が黒人にしてきたような差別はほぼありません。

    ただ、最近の人に対する礼儀やマナーのなってないバカものは、日­本ではあまり目にすることがない黒人を見かけると「あ!黒人だ」­と声に出して、ちょっと失礼な時がありますね。

    そういう「無意識に差別をしているかも知れない」バカには一度き­つく「お前は差別と思ってないかも知れないが言われる方はとても­気分が悪いからやめろ」と言わねばなりませんね。

  • hilarious!

    

  • At the end of the day our president is still african american. All you can do is laugh.

  • that ain't funny

  • XD

  • Fuck them

  • Obama as a Monkey 

  • The monkey kept his promises. Obama didn't.

  • @Hitmonchan107 most politicians dont its a standard for them not just obama

  • You could definitely troll black people with this video.

  • Haha change......sounds familiar

  • My take on this: This probably wasn't intended to be any sort of prejudiced, but I do think the Japanese public should try to become more aware of Western sensibilities, because here, it IS viewed as racist.

  • @MiracleMileV8 So what, Japan can market the phone in Japan however it wants too. "Change" was one of the most comical presidential campaigns ever.

  • what vv88vv88 said is true, also as a side note Japanese love Obama.

  • this isn't racism. The japanese don't know anything about what racist names black people may be called by caucasians. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BLACK PEOPLE IN JAPAN TO KNOW ANY OF THIS...... Plus...... When the first white people came to Japan they called us "yellow monkeys" so...... this isn't racism. The mascot happened to be a monkey. it was a monkey before anything with obama. The sensitive and ignorant people pointing fingers everytime are the racist ones.

  • Softbank's president is permanent ethnic Korean residents of Japan.

    He's hated by Japanese.

    wiki/Masayoshi_Son

  • racist ass japan. earth quake got tht ass

  • @station4hiphop dude thats not cool man.

  • @sander395 look up "little black sambo" and sitcoms in japan mocking blks trying to "act" how they percieve blks to be.

  • @station4hiphop dude you think thiss tradegy in japan is good because of a cartoon produced in 1935?!? in 1935 blacks in youre country dind have any goddamn rights and besides even if it whas produced today, you soudnt base youre opion of a interie country on a fucking cartoon and sure ass hell dont want anything like this disater to happen to them, if anybody is a racist you are for discremanting an entire country based on some youube clips!

  • @sander395 im not ur "dude" so you had to go research my statement then u return with a 1935 date but did you search enough to know "sambo"is a doll they sell to this day?i am pro black so im for m the rights of my race 1st and foremost,i specialize in my race just like a pian"ist",violin"ist so call me what you want. i have never drawn images depicted other races of idiots,buffoons. and i dont use derogatory names against others so i cant hate another race. learn the definition.

  • @sander395 saying an entire country is racist, is racist, simple. saying a country should be struck by an catastrophy like what happend to japan is retarded, even simpler

  • @station4hiphop u mad cause you elected an overpriced nigger ape bro?

  • @DStrike0083 nah i didnt vote for him. surprised huh? :) i bet u wont get in a cage with an ape. which are u a pig or those little japanese monkeys. nothing in the animal kingdom fuck with an ape.

  • @station4hiphop unless it's a cat with a sniper. The only racist person i see here it you. And why you hiding about voting for obama? Just cause you rode his dick and now he sucks, doesn't mean you fail. Just makes you look like an idiot for voting for some ape

  • @station4hiphop america got a tornado too i am happy

  • @NarutoRocks2011 lol america whipped yall ass in ww2 japan im happy:)

  • @station4hiphop i am from the uk and its better then usa

    american can do nothing....even the bomb a japanese guy how make it

    uk kick your ass amerian shit i only leave here to fuck your girls

  • @NarutoRocks2011 "even the bomb a japanese guy how make it"? lol i agree american women are fine as wine,so tht tells me there are some ugly ass women in the uk if you to have to come this far to fuck...lol so your mom must also be an ugly wart face, black cock loving,knuckle dragging whore.lol

  • @NarutoRocks2011 Bullshit you fuckin limey, you live under a monarchy..you can get medical dope like we can, and you can't own guns like we can..you do shit and wipe your ass without your lame royals knowing..Fuck the UK!

  • @TimothyOakes just because dope isn't legal doesn't mean we can't get good shit. Who wants people to be allowed to own guns when all that'll happen is murder rate will go up and people will just be shooting each other in general. Also you probably have never been to the UK or are even able to find it on a map. The monarch have no political power and are just token heads of state, so I don't know what your issue is, retard.

  • lmao i love youtube cause you never see this on amercian tv you damm asians are to damm funny

  • HAHAHAHA!

    the japanese are very astute- monkey see monkey do

  • That about sums up Obama's campaign..

  • They depicted George Bush as a monkey too. SO. WTF.

  • We all know Obama is a racist towards Asians given his response to their earthquake troubles. Too bad it was their was mascot, he deserves whatever the Japanese want to dish on him!

  • @TripperLV After seeing this nonsense I'm not surprised he doesn't have favourable feelings towards the Japanese. Do you think you can work out why? DUH.

  • @ezekielthemack - Duh! Obama is a racist and a piece of shit! The chimp was NOT directed at him, it's their corporate mascot! Liberals are always screaming racism and jumped the gun. Research the facts!

  • @TripperLV ... and your mother is a whore that works for 1 dollar a time - what's your point? :-)  Secondly, and more importantly, stop using the word RACIST when you clearly do NOT know the meaning of the word. If you knew the meaning of the word, you would know how redundant your statement was. Get educated and read more. You're stupid. Oh and give my regards to your mother lol.

  • @ezekielthemack - Oh, I see we have another dumb ass Obama supporter! Did I hurt your little feeling by exposing your demigod little bitch? Is Obama your gay lover! Yea, you sound really educated calling my mother a whore. Typical liberal nonsense! Obama is a racist! Now do your homework, leave your mother out of this, go suck off Obama, and shut the fuck-up little bitch!

  • @TripperLV No what we have here is a man (er, ME), whose intelligence is FAR greater than yours will ever be and will kick your ass PHYSICALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY. Neo-con morons like you annoy me, because nothing you have to say has pertinence or relevance, you just spew incoherent nonsense off the top of your head which makes no sense whatsoever. Are you related to Breitbart by any chance? as you sound just as dumb as he does.... :-)

  • @ezekielthemack - LMAO! Once again, you proved my point and didn't research the facts. I’m not a Neocon! Learn how to read a profile! You were wrong about the mascot and now you're wrong about my political affiliation. You just got owned AGAIN!

    Actually, it is you that doesn't make any sense, based on your comments. Additionally, I'm willing to bet you a physical wimp as well. You certainly are a cretin!

    Next time, research before you write! I'm only going to tell you once, bitch!

  • @ezekielthemack - BTW, I have to thank you for your comment. I post dumb Liberal comments and several of us are laughing at you. 1) You hadn't researched the facts and despite all the posts about the monkey being the corporate mascot, you still falsely concluded it was about Obama. Pure stupidity 2) You attack using a mother comment. Gee, how original! 3) You are not aware of Obama's racist issues towards Asians and why they generally voted for Hillary. You are such a fucking idiot! LMAO!

  • @TripperLV "BTW, I have to thank you for your comment." Er, you're welcome. Now get the fuck off youtube. Too easy. *smile*

  • @ezekielthemack - Sorry Bitch! I guess your going to have to keep taking it up the ass! I'm here to stay! Now pull up your pants, bitch!

  • @ezekielthemack - BTW, make no mistake, you're my new bitch! It was so easy owning your ass! LOL!

  • @ezekielthemack - BTW, I got your private "death threat" message. Is this what you call intelligence? You wrote;

    "Go and stick your head up your mother's rancid little cunt, you piece of white devil trash. Be thankful you're not in front of me as I would have killed your pasty ass already. I'm a prison number waiting to happen whether you want to belive it or not."

    Just for the record, you don't scare me you dumb, racist piece of shit! Thanks for confirming you want to be a prison bitch! lol

  • It's the mascot of the company! Once again, stupid lazy Liberals don't research the facts and start screaming "racism". Stupid! 

  • Actually this simian is the official mascot of the company.

  • Gotta love the Japanese they have a sense of humor and don't have a government which forces them to make everything politically correct. Had this commercial aired in the U.S. it would have stirred up a shit storm. So what if its racist its funny.

  • Comment removed

  • some blacks actually look like monkeys more than others...and actually some of the races are mixed with non human beings it's in science anyway .. so who cares..

  • @afulermp that is completely false! All humans are part of the hominid family which includes apes, chimpanzees and gorrillas. It's extremely disrespectful to assume otherwise. Look things up before saying something stupid

  • @Tsukikage12 - All hue-mans are NOT part of the hominid family! All Non Africans derive from Neanderthals! Get your facts straight. Africans are the original hue-mans.

  • @afulermp Yeah I've seen some ugly ass white people who can pass for a gorilla or a chimpanzee.

  • イイCMだと思うけどなあ。猿かわいいし

  • Japs are hella racist, they were holdin down the Chinese and Koreans for many many years before the United States retaliated against a sneak attack by the racist Japanese regime fueled by their racist culture. How can Japanese people be so racist yet have such small penises?

  • Got it all wrong - why are sick people so much into themselves and cannot figure out it is not about them its about circumstance. The monkeys are in the audience the speaker is not even a citizen.

  • it looks just like Obama

  • lol

  • Loooooooooooooooooooooooool

  • Comment removed

  • @happystar8081 Why aren't the liberals all crying out about how they must end that by flooding their countries with tens of millions of Africans? Why are only white countries being targeted for this nonsense?

  • @InternationalRabbit umm, i dont know really got any idea's?

  • Speaking of racism in Japan, this is kind of funny. Search Youtube for

    Erik visits Tokyo, Japan (Hilarious!!)

  • Why is Joe Biden a monkey?

  • why are monkeys symbols of racism? they are so cute.

  • @jmann229 are you capable of going to harvard? only the educated elite's politicians show class and respect.

  • They knew what they were doing.... And that's why it's racist.

  • オ○マ=猿って言うことね

    確かに、これは勘違いされそうだね~

    でも猿に今流行のことをやらせてインパクトつけてるだけだと思う­ぞ

  • まったく。。。あんたたちはばかだよね。。。That monkey had been a mascot for e-mobile in Japan for a good while before that specific commercial was made.

    And as CapitanoGUC said, the monkey is a symbol of wisdom in many asain cultures. the "wise old monkey" is common image in a LOT of the world, even in America. the only play off of obama this has is the theme of change.

    Stop calling racism at every turn... dumbasses

  • @Kigaomoihime

    Well knowing a monkey is their mascot changes things, but otherwise it would definitely seem like a racist ad over here; don't pretend as to why. Obviously, it's out of context, but I can see why most Americans would think it was racist.

  • Comment removed

  • @Clinterus Yeah but I really hate that people call racism at the very first misconstrued sign of it. Not knowing the facts before you say something just makes you seem stupid...

  • @Kigaomoihime at least they should understand why african american finds this offensive.... even it is there mascot, they should understand the history of african american and how they were treated as non human being and be compare to an ape and monkey, i dont find this amusing...

  • @sharinganWS yeah... speaking as an African American... I thought the commercial was adorable and definitely didn't think about any racial slurs when I first saw the commercial... people are just too racially sensitive about stuff i guess... and the the african - monkey relationship was primarily an western thing. Why should anyone in Japan give a rats ass? Just like how the average American doesn't know anything about another countries past without us having taken part in it, ie war...

  • @Kigaomoihime i hope you realize that slavery, wheater it's back in medial age of europe, etc and world war 1 and world war 2 is taught around the globe to know how some people werent treat as equals, in japan, they dont teach world war 2 and how japan treated people (other asian colonies such as china or korea) as human beings

  • @sharinganWS lol of course, I didn't say that they didn't know that these things happened, but little social and politcal taboos like the whole monkey thing is rather trivial to the big picture that I would expect them to know. So what if the stories are taught world wide? Walk up to random people on the streets and ask them for more specific details, and they won't be able to tell you too much unless they either retain information that well, or like the subjects.

  • @Kigaomoihime Isn't one of the Hindu gods a monkey? God, can't remember his name... Hanuman?

  • @Abedeuss Don't know much of anything about Hinduism. Sorry. But I DO remember hearing something about a monkey god that had a name starting with the letter H. It was somewhere in the east, so that couldv'e been the one. lol Best to look it up if you really want to know.

  • tha monkey is the animal of wisdom in many asian countrys ....:-/

  • lol its a misunderstanding Emoblie's mascot is am monkey and they put that commercial saying CHANGE ! as in change your plan to E Mobiles

  • It becomes racist when you know what the monkey is "saying" and what his slogan is. its "change!

    So a commercial about a monkey holding a rally with the slogan "change" is that racist?

  • How is this racist? And how is that Obama?

  • @Mal3volution because obama is a monkey

  • @Treblinka2012

    Mehrr? So if he's an idiot, that makes the insult "idiot" racist?

    I... don't get i-....

    I LOVE BIG BROTHER

    I LOVE BIG BROTHER

    I LOVE BIG BROTHER

    I LOVE BIG BROTHER

  • So fucking what who hasn't be called a monkey? Bush was often likened to a monkey

  • LMAO!!! I FUCKING LOVE THE JAPANESE :D !!! WAS THAT REALLY OBAMA TOUGH!!??...it looked just like him..or i mean it looked like a black guy..cant tellem apart :P

  • Lol, that's actually pretty funny. Why does it have to be racist? It's a simple parody. Bush has been depicted in the same manner. Enough with the double standards.

  • wait... so this is racism cause its making fun of japanese people saying they are stupid case they'll listen to a monkey dressed in a suit preteding to be obama?

  • Fuck him. Hes a dirty ape

  • Indeed that's probably why this monkey could replace Obama, do a better job than him and nobody would notice...*writes it down*

  • @alantrik - grow up kid

  • this isnt racism. nobody in japan cares about obama only americans do

  • The Japanes have always had racism. They do the same experiments we do on monkeys, on Koreans! Like human lab rats! Also, some people suspect that they played a huge role in the manipulation of eugenics over thousands of years in the orient. Thats why Hitler liked Japan and thats one reason why N. Korea is so touchy and defensive.

  • @grecon001: N. Korea has it's own Eugenics policies: Whole families are put into work camps and any offspring stays there automatically, infact many generations live together in these things. Clearly this is because genetic factors are believed to be actively involved in the parties' malfeasance.

  • How do you know this was supposed to be Obama. Unless Obama is the first thing that comes into your mind every time you see a monkey. Filthy rascist bastard.

  • OMG ROFL. That was great. They should have used a baboon or a chimpanzee ;)

  • There is word japs.

    It is thought that the American is racial discrimination.

    But,the Japanese doesn't feel it so.

    This is the same thing、too.

    Many Japanese doesn't feel it is racism.

    It is made based on a positive idea that it wants to cause the wave oppositely like Obama.

    To begin with, if the ape has a discriminatory meaning, it is not done to the character of the enterprise what it is.

  • @jmann229 You are soooo from the US, not giving the man a break since he does a LOT. Americans are dumb, I can't argue with that, but Obama is quite a intelligent man.

  • @dundeecake well you are a DUMB cunt Because 75% of Americans VOTED For Obama. who do you think Voted him in!? people from canada?

  • @MetalHeart8787 Ohno, with swearing you won't win a discussion. People voted for him because he promised he would change how eveything is now. But people call him lazy because he can't make the whole world a good place in one month. Do you seriously think he is the highest person of America or the world? Of course not, he most listen to a lot of people who together are higher than him. Otherwise he could do what he want. You give him to less credit for what he does.

  • @dundeecake what does that have to do with your comment you DumbFuck!

    I just sated a FACT Many Americans Voted him in! IF you Think hes smart THEN the American people Must be smart, Yes & i like him & Voted for him.

    READ & understand a comment before responding

  • @MetalHeart8787 Right back at ya:

    You said people voted for him. I said: yes, because you expected change.

    You dislike him for not working hard enough although he does. Again, swearing won't help you. I'm saying people asking to much from him are dumb, not everyone who voted for him. Evryone who still got faith is OK. Read more closely next time.

  • @dundeecake you are clumping "all Americans" as ONE mind. you?

    who? ME? NO i don't dislike Obama, alot of other people do, YES because people expected things to be done overNight. but yet at the same time he didn't keep some of his promisses. But i still like him & YES have Faith. ( no swearing this time) Yeah! : )

  • @MetalHeart8787 Well, not as one mind due to the fact people also voted for ohter candidates of course.

    If I see something involving Obama (except for those weird comics) it always is something negative about him. May it be fanart of some sort, articles or any comment about Obama. But yeah, I'm generalising, that's a bit stupid. I'm happy you got faith in him. Probably people making harsh comments about him are more likely catching my eye than people having faith. I'm sorry.

    Yay no swearing! :D

  • what's the song used in this?

  • Wow... how is it racist? -_-

  • el diablo vota al demócrata

  • lol

  • Wow that is pretty racist

  • I dont like blacks they are so violente

  • @XDalliwantisyou that very social Darwinistic. Its too easy to make generalizations about any group based off of anecdotal info.For your own good grow up.

  • Dog and monkey are rival in Japanese culture (Ken-En no naka). Everybody knows it in Japan.

    Major mobile company - Softbank are using a dog in their TV commercial. Therefore another company - Emobile used the monkey in their TV commercial. They made the TV commercial even if Obama was yellow or white.

  • wtf i have that phone

  • That commercial is an insult to monkeys

  • umm....maybe that cell phone companys motto is "Change" ever think of that :P

  • yeah this isn't racist at all

  • That is a Japanese snow monkey which is not from Africa but native of Japan so why is it racist? Also I do not think Japanese people even understand that reference nor use it.
