  • For Japanese Monkey dose not have bad meaning. This commercial for Japanese consumer. Monkey is this company`s mascot.

    We feel this is cultural invasion.

  • lol I love it!

  • If you don't like it, get out of Japan.

  • @2009xellos

    I reply to you as a Japanese.

    Because bad mouthing and derogatory remarks are easily understood. You, me and others all can sense that. When you see a Korean player making a monkey face during a Japan-Korea soccer match, you can sense that. This has nothing to do with Japanese having no negative image on monkey.

  • FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OABAMA FUCK OBAMA GO TO THE ALEX JONES CHANNEL AND SEE HOW KIDS GOT THERE FACES BLOWN OFF BY THIS BULL SHIT WAR IN LIBYA JUST TO GET THERE OIL FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUC OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OABAM FUCK THAT KENYAN IMPORT FUCK OBAMA FUCK OABAMA FUCK OABAM FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA FUCK OBAMA HE  IS A WARMONGER KENYAN PIECE OF SHIT

  • @MrAkiraakira why do you Japanese complain about Ki Sung Yong's goal celebration that mimicked monkey behavior, during the Asian Cup match Korea vs Japan?

    that's hypocrisy.

    You said it, for you Japanese, monkeys don't mean any negative connotation

  • Now that's funny.

  • Bunch of moron liberals.... Most people in the world don't live with "race" on the mind.... As the company said, it's simply the company's mascot, thus there was no intent of "racism". Further proof that liberals are the actual racists, for they can't see anything BEYOND race. Of course, historically they always were the racists, so it's not surprising.

  • Black people need to keep their Afro-stupidity out of Japan. Why do they come to Japan and expect the Japanese to change for them?

  • @k8wkm I was stationed in Okinawa (Kadena AB) many years ago and learned what the monkey means to the people there. I won't lie; I found it strange, but respected it. Different strokes for different folks. I'm sure there are many things we do in the United States that seem odd, foul or weird to other countries, too.
