This commercial is currently being aired on Japanese TV, mimicking the success that Senator Barrack Obama has found on the campaign trail with blatantly racist imagery. When will the Japanese people begin to confront the problems of racism in their midst?

    The monkey is the company's mascot, and Japan is more or less oblivious to the stereotypes for black people that originated in the USA. They're not an ethnically diverse country, nor do they even speak the same language as us. Their culture is completely different. Racism exists in Japan, as it exists in all countries, but you have to understand that they don't have the same exact stereotypes because they are culturally different. This commercial is not an example of Japanese racism.

    The commercial had nothing to do with PRESIDENT Obama.

    But thank you for taking the time out to make a complete ASS of yourself.

    LOL. Okay, so lobbing insults in all caps to a complete stranger on Youtube is a perfect example of what "being in a tizzy" would constitute. I'd rather come across as an "asshole" than a simpleton like you. Is your life so lacking in events that you actually have the time to get mad over this?

    'Not scoring any [IQ] points for the anti-racist squad...'

    Here are a few words of advice. Rather than comment on my command of the English language, which by the way is perfect, you should proof read what you type BEFORE you post it, as you come across as a real asshole.

    Let me guess, your grammar Nazi brain cannot compute, well try this then; FUCK OFF YOU LAME SAD CUNT.

    Your command of the English language is childish at best. You're not scoring very many intelligence points for the anti-racists. To be in a "tizzy" would imply that I'm losing my cool or becoming enraged. On the contrary; I'm very much apathetic about your replies to a comment I posted and forgot about months ago.

    What an intelligent response. Don't prove my point for me too much.
